On April 16 2024, Paul Christiano was named Head of AI Safety at the AI Safety Institute, part of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Will he retain this role for a year? If AISI shuts down, this will resolve No. If his role changes but he remains in a leadership position at AISI, that will not cause this question to resolve No. I will not trade on this market.

Whichever of Biden/Trump don't win will resolve N/A.

    • AISI Name Change: If the institute is renamed but continues to conduct essentially the same activities, it will still qualify as AISI for this question.

Wow, I had no clue until now that the US government even had a dedicated AI safety institute. Have they actually achieved anything since creation? It kinda feels like we're still very much on track for AI-2027's race ending i.e. we dead

I think Paul is an excellent person for the job and am glad that he continues to serve in his position!

If AISI gets renamed but still does mostly the same stuff, that still counts as AISI for this question

Would it be reasonable to update the "If Biden is elected" to "If Harris is elected"?
