I often hear of people talk of an implicit ranking of best places to do a PhD focusing on AI Saftey. Can anyone enumerate this for me?
Something like
- Berkeley
- Stanford
- MIT ….

I think the better question might be, "who are the best some professors/academic research groups in AI Safety to work with?"
Two meta-points I feel might be important —
With that out of the way, three research groups in academia come to mind:
Others:
there's also CASMI at Northwestern, which I think not a lot of people know about. I find their research & agendas to be very aligned.

Nice, I didn't know! Their research goals seem quite broad, which is good. Within the context of AI existential risk, this project looks interesting.
Also Jacob Steinhardt, Vincent Conitzer, David Duvenaud, Roger Grosse, and in my field (causal inference), Victor Veitch.
Going beyond AI safety, you can get a general sense of strength from CSRankings (ML) and ShanghaiRankings (CS).
