Announcing: The Independent AI Safety Registry

This seems like it could be useful!

As you've identified, databases of this kind often run into the problem of becoming outdated. For a similar project, EA houses, I wrote a script which automatically sorts the most recently edited entries to the top. If you allow people to edit the sheet, this allows people to easily bump their entry, ensuring that at least the most recent entries are still active. I'd be happy to implement this script on your sheet if you give the email I'm DMing to you access.

I also suggest anyone filling out this sheet to check out aisafety.community for a list of places to join, the AI Safety Accountability Program especially seems relevant. And as well as signing up, take the initiative to reach out to people and organize! Early-stage career development is bottlenecked by people who make small events, calls, and reading groups happen.

Feels like Apart Research could run something like this also; perhaps a collab is in order?
