AI safety is everyone's problem

Why researchers outside CS need to pay more attention.

Most of the AI safety conversation happens inside CS departments and a handful of dedicated research labs. I think that’s too narrow.

If AI systems are going to be deployed in healthcare, mental health support, clinical decision-making — and they already are — then the people who understand those domains need to be in the room. Not just as end users. As researchers with opinions about what safe actually means in context.

I don’t have a clean answer. But I’ve started paying more attention.
