As we navigate the 21st century, artificial intelligence (AI) continues to play an increasingly vital role in our daily lives. Its influence permeates every sector, from healthcare and finance to entertainment and social media. While AI's potential benefits are vast, it also harbors long-term existential risks that could impact humanity's future. It is essential for the next generation, specifically Generation Z (Gen-Z), to be not only aware of but actively engaged in dialogues surrounding AI safety and potential risks. My recent posts on AI and AI Safety have generated upwards of 100K views or likes. I believe there is an unmet need for the new generation to learn about these issues. Unfortunately, currently, the messaging from the AI Safety community is subpar, limited to niche channels such as LessWrong, and the emissaries are unable to aptly reach the new generations.
The goal of this project is to increase public understanding of AI safety and long-term risk by translating core concepts—alignment, systemic risk, and loss of human agency—into accessible, culturally resonant media.
This will be achieved through consistent production and distribution of essays, lectures, and short-form video, designed for mainstream platforms and digitally native audiences. The project will combine structured study of AI safety literature with content creation to ensure both rigor and accessibility.
A second goal is field-building: expanding the number of people who engage with AI safety and are motivated to pursue further study or work in the space. This will be driven through audience growth, collaborations, and educational initiatives.

It would be me and a videographer.
My videos already get 50K+ views on topics like AI
Such as this one on the ethics of model mistreatment: https://www.instagram.com/p/DW4myZIjHzt/
Right now, they are low production, front-facing camera, with a videographer, we could really expand in quality and increase reach.
