What I'm building.

A working list. Most of these are in motion right now — feedback and collaboration are welcome.

• AI Safety Policy Advocacy Playbook

  In progress — looking for feedback and collaborators

  Strong government action at the moment of an AI-related crisis may be one of the best opportunities to put meaningful oversight over the development of powerful AI systems in place — that is, if AI safety advocates can get a seat at the table. AI safety advocates should be more intentional about preparing for the policy windows that an AI-related crisis will open. This playbook lays out how exactly to do that. Feel free to leave feedback on the document or reach out to me through email.

• AI Governance Stakeholder Map

  Functional

  I compiled actors across government, industry, civil society, academia, and international bodies, then mapped them on a power-interest grid to see who holds the most influence and who cares the most. The result is an interactive stakeholder map with 270 actors that I think is a useful starting point for getting oriented when there's so much going on. This was a personal project — for a more polished map, check out mapping-ai.org.

• Community Engagement SIG — Utah RAI-CC

  Ongoing

  Co-leading the Community and Civil Society Engagement Group, a Special Interest Group within Utah's Responsible AI Community Consortium. Focused on building networks between residents and policymakers and on improving community AI literacy and understanding.

• The Big Year

  Happening now

  The Big Year is a 12-month challenge competition I co-created and run for a close group of friends, built to give us all the most interesting year of our lives. Participants take on absurd, ambitious, and meaningful challenges across categories like physical feats, creative projects, social courage, personal growth, achievement, and pure absurdism (things like going 48 hours without speaking, meeting a family member you've never talked to, starting a business and turning $100 in profit, doing a street performance, or appearing on cable TV), choosing what to attempt from an evolving official list and logging completions through a web app for points. I handle the design, governance, and logistics: shaping the rules, curating the challenge list, running the kickoff events, managing the honor-system scoring, and making the judgment calls that keep things fair and fun. The whole year builds toward a group tropical vacation in early 2027, where everyone who hits the minimum point threshold gathers for a fancy-dress dinner, story-swapping, trophies for the top finishers, and category awards like Most Creative, Most Absurd, and Best Story. The point is to show up authentically, embrace the silly, win and lose gracefully, and use the structure as an excuse to actually do the things you've been meaning to do.
