Key insight: we need all types, from all walks of life, to be involved in the effort to make AI safer, not just the canonical "alignment" researcher mold that pervades the space. Elitism and jargon are holding safety back, but it doesn't have to be that way.

Alt Text: Professional headshot of Li-Lian Ang, a young Asian woman with shoulder-length black hair and black-rimmed glasses, smiling warmly at the camera against a teal gradient background. The image includes the Kairos.fm logo and Into AI Safety podcast branding, with the episode title "Growing BlueDot's Impact w/ Li-Lian Ang" prominently displayed. A small icon showing interconnected nodes represents the AI Safety theme.

Will and I discuss the importance of diverse perspectives, how grassroots movements can shift policy when insider lobbying fails, common misconceptions about AI advocacy, and practical steps for getting involved (hint: it starts with writing your representatives)

Will Petillo from PauseAI joins to discuss the grassroots movement for pausing frontier AI development, balancing diverse perspectives in activism, and why meaningful AI governance requires both political engagement and public support kairos.fm/intoaisafety...

Check out their practical tool that guides you through contacting your representatives about AI policy concerns: www.guidedtrack.com/programs/e7x...

This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to participate in shaping how AI is governed!

The STAMP method for effective communication:
Short - Keep it concise
Thoughtful - Appeal to their interests
Actionable - Make a specific ask
Memorable - Make it stand out
Personalized - Share your story

Big Tech spent $4.3B on lobbying in 2024, with Meta alone employing 65 lobbyists (one for every 8 members of Congress). Citizen advocacy is our best counter to this corporate influence.

Ever wonder if contacting your representatives actually makes a difference? My guests found that ~70% of congressional offices say fewer than 50 personalized messages is enough to consider taking action on an issue!
