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.
Did you not understand that "I.J. Good" is a person's name? (Note that in this thread ciphergoth asserts that everyone recognizes the form as a name, despite your comment which I read as a counterexample.)
Until I read the comment thread, I thought maybe it was facetious and stood for "It's Just Good".
At this point, I'm not sure what I was thinking. It's plausible that knowing what the initials meant would be enough to identify the person.
I'm pretty sure I was thinking "ok, I. J. Good founded a foundation, but who cares?".
I can imagine, upon discovering that the "I.J.Good Institute" is interested in developing stably ethical algorithms, deciding that the name was some sort of pun... that it stood for "Invariant Joint Good" or some such thing.
