Theory of Change
The Dwarkesh Podcast improves collective understanding of AI safety risks and alignment challenges by providing deeply researched, long-form access to the most important researchers and thinkers working on transformative AI. By reaching a large audience of AI engineers, researchers, and decision-makers — many of whom shape product, research, and policy decisions — the podcast helps spread accurate mental models of AI risk and informs the priorities of those best positioned to act on them. The implicit theory is that epistemically well-informed technical and leadership communities are more likely to make decisions that reduce catastrophic AI risk.
