Hikayat - Interactive Stories to Learn AI Safety

I love that you've taken inspiration from your culture towards AI safety education!

Here are some things I particularly enjoyed:

- I liked your approach of picking out particular themes in AI safety you wanted to convey and building a story around it.

Here are something I thought could have been improved:

- I would have loved for the story to be more fleshed out, but I understand the lack of time! In the future, I think it would be better to invest time into the actual story which is your unique proposition and do a simple technical mockup, perhaps even just using Google Slides, so that you could invest more time in building out these impactful stories.

- I appreciated that you got feedback directly from users! Given the few respondents you had, it might have been best to conduct user interviews with them instead of run a quantitative survey. I would recommend using the Mom Test to guide that.

I'd love to see these stories more fleshed out to help broader audiences understand the impact of AI!a

What a cool project! The problem statement was well developed and the potential of Hikayat to solve a need relating to public education was clearly articulated. Some references felt imprecise (e.g. it's unclear from the aisafety.info link provided where the selected themes were drawn from). In some parts of the paper, it was hard to understanding what was drawn from a reference and whether further content was available in the appendices (e.g. elaborating on the findings from the review of existing AI safety curricula in an appendix may be appropriate, to understand your process and which themes you drew from the analysis). The scenarios themselves are compelling, and with further user-testing and additional samples, I can imagine engaged storytelling and discussion across a variety of formats. Consider adding research papers to the further reading section, outlining the research on current capabilities and limitations, or theoretical arguments relating the events in the stories. I'm excited to see where this goes.
