Ok.

The Center for AI safety and Centre for Friendly Artificial Intelligence research sound the most correct as of now.

If you wanted to aim for a more creative name, then here are some

Centre for Coding Goodness

Man's Best Friend Group (If the slightly implied sexism of "Man's" is Ok..)

The Artificial Angels Institute / Centre for Machine Angels - The angels word directly conveys goodness and superiority over humans, but due to its christian origins and other associated imagery, it might be walking a tight rope.

Naming your research institute after a pet dog reference and it is the non gender neutral word that seems like the problem?

They'll come for the dogs, they'll stay for the AI. :)
