Center for AI Safety most accurately describes what you do.

To be honest, the I. J. Good Institute sounds the most prestigious.

Beneficial Architectures Research makes you sound like you're researching earthquake safety or something similar. I don't think you necessarily need to shy away from the word "AI."

AI Impacts Research sounds incomplete, though I think it would sound good with the word "society," "foundation," or "institute" tacked onto either end.

IJ Good Institute would make me think that it was founded by IJ Good.

I would suspect that it means "The Good Institute", something related to either philantropy or religion, with a waving hand and smiling face the webmaster failed to mark properly as a Wingdings font. :D
