ML SAFETY

AI risk analysis could be included in the appendix and does not need to be within the main paper. We intend to award papers that exceed a quality threshold in their x-risk analyses, so many papers that make an honest effort can win a portion of the $50,000 prize pool. Quality x-risk analyses must relate to some concepts, considerations, or strategies for reducing existential risks from AI. AI risk analyses do not need to follow any existing template, and do not need to agree with any particular portrayal of existential risk, or hold any particular beliefs regarding the overall likelihood of existential risk... The emerging research community focused on reducing long-term risks from ML systems.
