The Center for AI Safety-- best of the bunch. It might be clearer as The Center for Safe AI.
The I.J. Good Institute-- I have no idea what the IJ stands for.
Beneficial Architectures Research-- sounds like an effort to encourage better buildings.
A.I. Impacts Research-- reads like a sentence. It might be better as Research on AI Impacts.
Irving John ("Jack").
I would guess that exactly zero of my non-Less Wronger friends have ever heard of I. J. Good.

Now I have Johnny C Bad playing in my head.
(Well, not really, but it made for a fun comment.)
Better than Johnny D Ugly.
