An AI safety researcher suggests that external communities should concentrate their efforts on influencing the specifications and constitutions of AI models. This approach is favored because these documents are publicly accessible natural language texts, requiring no specialized ML knowledge for review.

The author also provides guidance on how to effectively submit feedback and suggests avoiding direct naming of models like 'Claude' to prevent potential issues. AI
