Oh, sorry for being excessively brief then. SingInst would want to know how likely various form of existential risk are so they know how likely it is that humanity will survive for X years without FAI. There are various trade-offs that would need to be made differently depending on how urgent things are.
Oh. I though they meant experts of how to ensure (or break....) it, not of how good it is in general worldwide.
