Might be semi-related: the german aerospace/automotive/industrial research agency has an “AI Safety” institute (institute = top level department).
I got a rough impression from their website. They don’t seem to be doing anything that successful. Mostly fighting the unwinnable battles of putting AI in everything without sucking and twiddling machine learning models to make them resilient against malicous data. Besides trying to keep the torch of self-driving cars alive for the german car industry. Oh, and they’re doing the quantum AI bit.
They’re a fairly new institute, and I heard rumors they’re not doing great. Maybe the organization resists the necessary insanity to generate new AI FOMO at this point. One can dream.
Kinda interesting that it’s focused on smaller scale risks like malicious data instead of ahhh extinction ahhh
Yeah, the same thing struck me. I’d guess they were jumping on the buzzword, but x-risk just was deemed gaudy and unserious.
