I actually have a few ideas for larger projects in this space:
- Could tap / copy / collab with https://www.safeaiforchildren.org/ - UK group taking a similar approach. Heard about it via the For Humanity podcast.
- I spoke with a now ex-colleague who also stood for parliament several times who put it this way: kids have ~8 (?) weeks of school holidays, but parents have ~4 weeks of annual leave - are kids getting shortchanged, and is there a possibility for AI to help improve this through productivity gains?
- The throughline here is - there's specifically a family angle on making sure that benefits are shared appropriately (4-day work weeks? More leave? Transition to stronger benefits system? "AI dividend"? Many specific approaches.)
- You can use a similar lens for most labour-market-related risks, I suspect - mass unemployment would probably be bad for *families* in ways >sum(individual members)
- There's also a straight angle like - *everyone* is someone's kid, so *parents* for safe AI can be much broader than young children.
- "I'm a boomer, and I want my adult children to have the opportunities I had - which AI threatens"
- "My adult child works at Woollies, and I don't want them trapped in the permanent technofeudal underclass"
- "I'm a millennial, and I want my kids who are currently in uni to have more certainty about their future"
