AI safety research faces barriers to human-centered studies

A new paper on arXiv explores the challenges and value of human-centered research in AI safety and ethics. Despite a consensus on its importance, empirical studies involving human subjects face barriers related to perceived validity, resource limitations, and disciplinary preferences. Technical researchers, in particular, show a lower valuation of human research and less cross-disciplinary collaboration, indicating an epistemic tension. The paper proposes recommendations to improve the integration and acceptance of human research within the AI safety and ethics field. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for more human-centered research in AI safety, potentially influencing future research methodologies and resource allocation.
