Background: I'm a community builder in Berlin contracting with AI Safety organizations and had a call with Jessica about SAIGE.
Various local groups exist across Germany that could benefit from a national entity. E.g. A German AI Safety day is hard to realize without an organization behind them.
Beyond this proposal, I'd also like to see German-language resources and outreach.
A national organization that understands local idiosyncrasies and opportunities could also make the AI Safety pipeline in Germany more efficient.
