Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence

When Russell says that there is no distinction between bridge capabilities and bridge safety, he's not claiming that no extra research is needed to study alignment.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have founded the Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence, probably the biggest academic alignment research center in the world.

And he's not saying that alignment research will happen naturally at whatever speed it has to.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have signed a petition calling for a prohibition on the development of superintelligence.
