I really don’t think you should try to convince mid-career professionals to switch careers to AI safety risk research. Instead, you should focus on recruiting talented young people, ideally people who are still in university or at most a few years out.
I must admit that the “convince academics” part of the plan is still a bit vague. It’s unclear to me how new fields become fashionable in academia. How does one even figure that out? I’d love to know.
The project focuses on the “create a MOOC” part right now, which is plenty of value in itself.
