In a way, it was easier to make a case for MIRI back when they did a lot of advocacy work. Now that they’re billing themselves as a research institute, I think they’ve set a much higher bar for themselves, and when it comes to doing research (as opposed to advocacy) they’ve got much less of a track record to go on.
What are the best groups that are specifically doing advocacy for (against?) AI risk, or existential risks in general?
If I had to guess, I would guess FLI, given their ability to at least theoretically use the money for grant-making. Though after Elon Musk’s $10 million, donation this cause area seems to be short on room for more funding.
Although FLI were only able to grant a very small fraction of the funds that researchers applied for, and many organisations have scope for expansion beyond the grants they recieved.
