Create articles, infographics, or videos in Chinese for broad audiences.
About the project
New developments in AI safety and governance research are sometimes only covered in English and receive limited high-quality coverage in Chinese. This project aims to fill that gap.
In this project, mentees will create accessible, engaging content in Chinese that explains new ideas in AI safety and governance. This could take the form of blog posts, infographics, or short videos on a variety of popular platforms.
Mentees will be self-directed and will choose their own topics and formats.
Theory of change
Great research communication in Chinese enables a broader audience to engage with ideas in frontier AI safety and governance.
