- Elicit radically increases the amount of good reasoning in the world.
- For experts, Elicit pushes the frontier forward.
- For non-experts, Elicit makes good reasoning more affordable. People who don't have the tools, expertise, time, or mental energy to make well-reasoned decisions on their own can do so with Elicit.
- Elicit is a scalable ML system based on human-understandable task decompositions, with supervision of process, not outcomes https://ought.org/updates/2022-04-06-process. This expands our collective understanding of safe AGI architectures.

WHAT IS AN "AI ENGINEER"?
AI engineering is a new category of technical work. Its emergence is linked to the increasing availability of powerful new artificial intelligence tools: notably generative machine learning systems like large language models.
The term was suggested by swyx on the Latent Space podcast https://www.latent.space/p/ai-engineer and we've written about it on our blog before.
Elicit predicted the rise of powerful ML systems even before GPT-1 was trained, and has the deepest experience of building trustworthy, capable, and transparent applications using these tools.
If you're a software engineer who relishes the more difficult parts of backend code—like concurrency, fault-tolerance, and distributed systems—you could be a great AI engineer.
