Geniuses or talented researchers are not that impactful as much as the right policy. Contribute creating the right conditions (work environment, education, cross contamination, funding, etc.) to make good research flourish. At the same time if fundamentals are not covered (healthcare, housing, etc.) people are not able to focus on much more than suvival. So pretty much anything that makes the whole system works better helps.
As an example, there are plenty of smart individuals in poor counties which are not able to express their potential.
Yeah this is from the top-down (and doing things from the top-down requires jumping through hoops). People at Foresight care less about these hoops than people elsewhere(+super-open to ppl from weird backgrounds), and Foresight is WAY higher-impact than most organizations.
Bottom-up: there are SOME people I know who hang out with AI people and who understand them inside from the bottom-up, and this is SOMETHING that can help
