According to Price’s Law, the square root of the number of contributors contributes half of the progress. If there are 400 people working on AI safety full-time then it’s quite possible that just 20 highly productive researchers are making half the contributions to AI safety research. I expect this power law to apply to both the quantity and the quality of research.
