The obvious change if Singularity has been co-opted is the Institute for Artificial Intelligence. (but IAI is not a great acronym).
Institute for Artifical Intelligence Safety lets you keep the S, but it's at the wrong spot. Safety Institution for Artificial Intelligence is off-puttingly incorrect.
The Institute for Friendly Artificial Intelligence (pron. eye-fay) is IFAI... maybe?
If you go with the Center for Friendly Artificial Intelligence you get CFAI, sort of parallel to CFAR (if that's what you want).
Oh! If associating with CFAR is okay, then what's really lovely is the Center for Friendly Artificial Intelligence Research, acronym as CFAIR. (You could even get to do cute elevator pitches asking people how they'd program their obviously well-defined "fairness" into an AI.)
Edit: I do agree that "Friendly" is not, on the whole, desirable. I prefer "Risk Reduction" to "Safety", because I think Safety might bring a little bit of the same unsophistication that Friendly would bring.
upvoted for CFAIR
I hate CFAIR.
But than Eliezer and co. could be called CFAIRers!
As long as they don't pledge themselves or emulated instances of themselves for 10 billion man-years of labor.
