I personally do not tend to think of AISC as converting money and interested people into useful research. For me, that conjures up the image of a scaleable machine where you can throw in more inputs to spit out more of the output.
I view AISC more as designing processes together that tend toward better outcomes (which we can guess at but do not know about beforehand!).
Or as a journey of individual and shared exploration that people – specifically aspiring researchers– go through who are committed to ensuring unsafe AI does not destroy human society and all of biological life.
Ah, adding this here:
