Create a Direct Friendly AGI Investment Vehicle
Currently most AGI research is primarily sponsored by private angel investors and VCs towards private ends.
I have savings I would like to invest in friendly AGI, and I don't see a clear vehicle to enable that purchase at the moment. I've brought this up before at LW meetings and believe there is a growing market for such a vehicle.
The idea could take the form of a public accessible angel group or community chest type organization that allows investors to get exposure to a large pool of relatively safe AGI designs. The SIAI could take a lead role as a safety rating agency, connecting to John Maxwell's Safety Guideline ideas elsewhere in this thread.
AGI research is taking off regardless, the idea here is to differentially accelerate the safer designs.
What business model using FAI will convince people to invest? Just adding "and it will be FAI" to typical AI pitches?
The specific business models will naturally vary from project to project, but so far the general form still appears to be the boosting approach where a more narrow AI application area is monetized first. For example Deepmind seems to be first pursuing AI for social games, whereas Vicarious is going for vision.
The key figures both gave Singularity Summit talks, Peter Thiel's group invested in both, and Thiel is obviously aware of friendliness issues, so I assume that the pitches involved something more than "and it will be FAI", but beyond that I can only speculate.
