The Quest To Find The Next Big Communicators In AI Safety
In September 2025, I'd become increasingly convinced that a fieldbuilding program for content creators could solve a long-standing bottleneck of expanding reach and trust beyond the AI safety and EA bubble.I had graduated from UCLA a few months earlier when I came across the AI-2027 report which had a significant impact on me. I rejected my six-figure tech consulting offer, left my place in LA, and moved to the first place I could find in the Bay Area to contribute to AI Safety. Contrary to my expectations, only a small subset of people were working towards what seemed to be far more important than building yet another AI B2B SaaS.I wanted to change this. The power of a good external-facing comms effort is underrated. AI in Context, If Anyone Builds It Everyone Dies, Rob Miles is the first interaction with AI Safety for many, including mine. It has the power to empower mainstream audiences to act by creating trust and relatability, and meeting them where they’re at- social media. Moreover, I felt that I had the right background to do this- my experience as an activist, ex-founder building products for clients Google & BCG, and operator running one of the largest AI Safety conferences in LA.In my initial few months of moving to SF, I conducted creator events and campaigns with orgs like CAIS, one of which ended up reaching over 2.5M+ views through 5 creators. While this was impactful, it was clear that we were heavily talent bottlenecked on this new kind of audience builder and educator. These were- The next Rob Miles. The blogger who speaks to Gen Z. The next AI-2027-shaped artifact. And, just as importantly, communicators like Petr Lebedev embedded at Palisade Research who can power dissemination from inside the orgs doing the work.That's when Austin Chen (who was also interested in this) and I started Frame Fellowship, to find and accelerate the next big communicators in AI safety.Note: Early bird Applications for Cohort 2.0 are now OPEN!
