Is the end-game to do data-analysis on data for charity evaluation, intervention evaluation, cost-effectiveness and that kind of thing?

Or, to inform people interested in machine learning about AI safety?

It's deliberately not just for AI safety, but half of the people are interested in AI safety currently.

As well as promoting interest in these two areas among people with AI knowledge, the aim is to promote knowledge in people who care.
