Why Safe AI?
Leading the Way to Safe AI: Your Role in a Critical Decade
By Claire Boine, cofounder and CEO
As someone who's helped shape AI policy with governments worldwide, I've seen both the immense potential and serious risks of advanced AI systems. Leading AI researchers estimate a 3-50% chance that artificial intelligence could cause catastrophic harm this century – making this potentially the most pressing challenge humanity has ever faced.
But this isn't a story of doom. It's an opportunity for experienced professionals to rise to one of history's most important challenges.
While billions are spent making AI more powerful, only a small group – fewer than a thousand people worldwide – is working directly on ensuring these systems remain safe and aligned with human values. This creates an unprecedented opportunity for talented professionals to make a profound difference.
At Successif, we guide experienced leaders like you on a journey to tackle this challenge. Whether you're from policy, tech, or leadership backgrounds, your skills and wisdom are invaluable in helping shape the development of safe and beneficial AI.
We understand that transitioning careers to work on AI safety isn't easy. That's why we provide free, customized support through every step – from understanding the technical challenges to connecting with leading organizations in the field. You won't be alone on this journey.
This path offers something rare in today's world: the chance to apply your professional expertise to work that is both deeply meaningful and critically important. While others focus on making AI more powerful, you could be part of the solution that helps ensure this technology benefits all of humanity.
Your experience, combined with our guidance, could help write one of the most important chapters in human history. Whether we develop safe and beneficial AI systems in the coming decades may depend on people like you choosing to take action today.
If you're ready to make your expertise count where it matters most, join us. Together, we can help ensure artificial intelligence becomes one of humanity's greatest achievements rather than its greatest mistake.
