Responding to how to bridge academia and AI labs, dhadfieldmenell proposes an org that contracts faculty on their 20% time and arranges one-day-a-week placements as outside evaluators/auditors, citing minimal red tape. Once running, more formal arrangements could follow. @ChenhaoTan calls it promising but raises key open questions: what access agreements would the org have with AI labs, and how would admission into the system be decided.
