To my knowledge, most local EA/AIS groups don’t have a regular AI Safety newsletter. This seems like a low-hanging fruit that I could fix relatively easily, given that my group has one that has gotten positive feedback. 

By following these three steps, you can set up an AIS newsletter for your EA or AI Safety group in ~10 minutes.

1. Make a copy of this document for this month’s (June 2024) newsletter.
2. Fill out the relevant spaces and make some adjustments for your context.
3. Send it out to your members 
   1. I would appreciate it if you could cc. gergo@enais.co so I get a sense of how many groups end up using it
4. (Optional) Fill out this form to get notified for next month’s newsletter.

Additional thoughts:

-If this seems useful for others, I will share each month's newsletter around the 15th.

-Please note that this newsletter is somewhat geared towards European groups, but by making some adjustments you should be able to make it useful for groups outside of Europe as well.

-With any questions, or if you would like to help customize the newsletter for other regions in the future, please reach out to gergo@enais.co

-There are a lot of great AIS newsletters out there, but based on talking to attendees at EAGx conferences, it seems like not that many people know about them. Therefore, local group organisers are in a unique position to share information, as their members are already subscribed to the group’s mailing list (but likely not to others).

-The “What We have been reading” section’s articles are hand-picked from those awesome newsletters^[1], but tailored for an audience that is new to AI Safety.
