People talked about disseminating the training within their own teams. They considered applying for AI safety fellowships. They discussed forming local communities and groups to stay on top of new safety-relevant research and think about how it could inform legal practice.

We did talk about things that are closer to the practical interface between AI safety and law, though. For example, we discussed how small decisions in deployment can accumulate into gradual disempowerment. We actually did a role-playing exercise based on the AI Minister in Albania case, which @Raymond Douglas included in Gradual Disempowerment Monthly Roundup

There's a saying "writing about music is like dancing about architecture" These are just computing systems deployed in the real world, on workstations and phones and rack servers in datacenters. Solve the problems with code and architecture, as our ancestors have done since time immemorial.

Not sure what talking about it in these broad leaky abstractions accomplishes, or e.g. how the European Commission thinks this prevents them from being disempowered when they control none of the stack.
