Open AI is one of the actual research organizations promoting AI Safety work. However, this has more to do with funding and the money put up front by the original founders - Elon Musk, Sam Altman etc, who themselves are not AI researchers, yet AGI enthusiasts. Open AI published a number of papers, essentially and implicitly supporting the position of the AI inexperienced founders. They try to highlight AI safety aspects quite frequently. But I would not take it too seriously, just like you wouldn't take a Facebook employees endorsement of Zucks vision. If you are familiar with ML, you would know that L2 norms are a key optimization metric in ML. L2 norms are basically Pythagorean hypotenuse computations in high dimensions. I will take AI safety research seriously when they start discussing the risk factors associated with Pythagoras theorem and how we as a society must deal with it before we become a slave to L2 norm driven super intelligence. If you want to really talk about human risk from AI, Tesla's self driving killing machines are already here along with ML guided drone bombers. It's no different from Therac 25. If we are not discussing these and creating a course about super intelligence, it's just mental masturbation.
