The Distillation Contest asks that participants: 1) Pick an article/post/research paper on AI Alignment/Safety (ideally from our list below) that would benefit from being more clearly explained. 2) Indicate which ideas or sections of their chosen research should be distilled. 3) Create a distillation: a clearer explanation of the research, along with a new example or new application of the research. 4) Optionally: If there is a problem that is trying to be solved by the research you’re distilling, you can attempt to create an additional solution to the problem and include it in your response
