I appreciate your perspective, but I remain unconvinced. A centralized institute, even if intended to complement decentralized efforts, risks becoming the dominant voice in AI safety research. This could inadvertently marginalize smaller, more innovative projects and ideas. The very nature of a large, international body tends to favor consensus and established methodologies, potentially slowing the rapid adaptations needed in this fast-evolving field. Moreover, the bureaucracy inherent in such organizations can impede quick decision-making and agile responses to emerging AI risks. I believe our resources would be better spent fostering a robust, diverse ecosystem of independent researchers and institutions, each bringing unique insights to the table without the constraints of a centralized framework.
