A survey by the charity Good Ancestors, involving 139 AI safety and policy professionals, revealed that 90% view an overly “bureaucratic culture” as the primary deterrent to joining Australia’s new AI Safety Institute, and over half indicated that funding below $10 million would be unappealing. Despite these concerns, there is broad support for the government’s initiative to establish this hub of AI safety expertise. In particular, 88.8% of respondents said the AISI should either focus primarily on catastrophic risks or take a balanced approach. Autonomous systems (85.8%), cyber misuse (81.2%), and dual-use science (and chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear weapons) (79.8%) were frequently rated as very important or critical risk areas to work on.
