What they’re saying about Electric Sheep

“I’m very impressed by Electric Sheep. The work of your coders and AI researchers will only grow - and show how we can take into account the largest number of sentient beings, and benefit them.”
— Peter Singer, world-leading philosopher and author, 'The Life You Can Save.'

The event is hosted by Johns Hopkins University, Department of Integrative Learning and Life Design, and scheduled for Wednesday, April 23 from 10 to 11 am at the Imagine Center, Summit Auditorium, with registration details provided.
“Electric Sheep’s work is really incredible. I live in the Bay Area and it was amazing how your hackathon found a group I’ve been looking for and never found before - and brought us all together.”
— Itsi Weinstock, Bay Area-based coder, Code for Compassion participant, founder of CoucherCom, now coding around Alt-Proteins
“We need a welfare-focussed AI safety community. There’s so much excitement and nowhere for it to go. It feels like the AI governance field just before we set up BlueDot. This is the time for Electric Sheep.”
