1st Critical AI Safety Workshop

This workshop aims to bring together scholars from different disciplines who are working to characterize, map, and critique the field of AI Safety and AI Existential Risk research. 

Main questions include, but are not limited to:
- What is the landscape of AI safety and existential risk communities and research, and what are the tensions within those?
- Can AI safety or AI existential risk be described as an ideology?
- What assumptions about cognitive science, economics, sociology, society, or power, amongst others, underlie and confound AI Safety?
- What are the formal methods of the field, and how can they be improved?
- What are the funding flows in the field? How easy is it for individuals to receive funding, and what factors are considered in funding decisions?
- What policy proposals does the AI safety community lobby for, and through what channels?
- How is the community established, what are their recruiting strategies, and what makes them so successful?
- How tightly interlinked is the research philosophy with other non-scientific fields, like science fiction, hype, speculation, and imagination?
