This is great! For a long time I've been saying that we need summaries at different lengths, and I see it's coming together now.

This one is good as an executive summary.

The next step is to produce a short summary with emotional appeal; a call to action. It's been noted that simply stating the problem of AI existential risk does not bring people on-board. Staring into the Singularity is an example of a emotionally appealing call to action (for outdated policies, however).

But I do not have any specific ideas for implementation, and again, this is excellent for the purpose it was designed for.
