Spitfire has deep experience turning media moments into policy, behavior and culture change. Just this fall we worked with whistleblower David Robinson to convert his resignation from OpenAI into a drumbeat that has bipartisan members of Congress and attorneys general from red and blue states desperate to learn from him.
When David quit, his first step was to turn to Spitfire to help him ensure the issue of safety in artificial intelligence (AI) was genuinely understood by key audiences, not as an existential threat that is too big to think about, but as a serious national security issue that could result in catastrophic harm for real people. Spitfire worked with him to design a strategy that allowed him to own his message and speak with nuance.
Our work will continue for months, but in the first week we helped David secure an essay in The Atlantic, tell his story in an exclusive with Ezra Klein and The New York Times, and share his policy recommendations internationally via an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
