The stated goal of SIAI is "to ensure that the creation of smarter-than-human intelligence benefits society". What metric or heuristic do you use in order to determine how much progress you (as an organization) are making toward this goal ? Given this heuristic, can you estimate when your work will be complete ?
There is no such metric for mathematical and philosophical breakthroughs. We're just doing it as quickly as we can given our level of funding.
