# AI safety cost-effectiveness

This repository contains code for estimating the cost-effectiveness of various field-building programs. It has been built for the [Center for AI Safety](https://www.safe.ai/).
This repository contains code for estimating the cost-effectiveness of various field-building programs. It has been built for the [Center for AI Safety](https://www.safe.ai/). **This is a fork to estimate the cost effectiveness of Apart Research's programs:**

- [Alignment Jam hackathons](https://alignmentjam.com)
- [Apart Labs program](https://apartresearch.com)
- [Apart YouTube channel (talks)](https://youtube.com/@apartresearch)
- [Apart's AI safety newsletter (YouTube, newsletter, podcast)](https://news.apartresearch.com)
- [AI Safety Ideas](https://aisi.ai)

Each of these will be evaluated in turn. Earlier points have higher priority.

## Directory Structure

- `src`: Contains source code.
- `models`: Contains cost-effectiveness models, the main logic of this project.
- `parameters`: Contains parameter instances for each program evaluated. (The [parameters README](/src/parameters/README.md) describes what we mean by instances.)
- `scripts`: Contains scripts for generating outputs. Organized into subdirectories for `examples` of how to use the repository, and code used to generate content for written `posts`.
- `utilities`: Contains functions and assumptions that are common across multiple cost-benefit analyses. Organized into subdirectories for `assumptions`, `defaults`, `functions`, `plotting`, and `sampling`.

- `utilities`: Contains functions and assumptions that are common across multiple cost-benefit analyses. Organized into subdirectories for `assumptions`, `defaults`, `functions`, `plotting`, and `sampling`.
- `output`: Contains data and plot outputs generated from `scripts`.

The `scripts` feed `parameters` into `models` to produce `output`s. The `utilities` are used at many different stages of the project -- providing functions for specifying parameters, lower-level functions for models, sampling functions for the scripts, plotting functions for the outputs, and more.
