I am very new to AI governance and this post helped me a lot in getting a better sense of “what’s out there”, thank you! Now, what I’m about to say isn’t meant so much as “I felt this was lacking in your post” but more as simply “reading this made me wonder about something”: What about AI governance focused on s-risks instead of only/mostly x-risks? The London-based Center on Long-Term Risk (CLR) conducts pertinent work on the foundational end of the spectrum (see their priority areas). Which other organisations are (at least partly) working on AI governance focused on s-risks?
The Legal Priorities Project’s research agenda also includes consideration of s-risks, alongside with x-risks and other type of trajectory changes, though I do agree this remains somewhat under-integrated with other parts of the long-termist AI governance landscape (in part, I speculate, because the perspective might face [even] more inferential distance from the concerns of AI policymakers than x-risk focused work).

The Cooperative AI Foundation works on an agenda relevant to s-risks.
