This Top 10 ranking is produced by Dr. Roman V. Yampolskiy (University of Louisville) and is based solely on his biased opinion. (To reduce bias University of Louisville is Not Ranked) To a certain degree the ranking is also based on perceived reputation, Google scholar listings under AI Safety, quality and quantity of papers, Google search rankings, impact of publications and number of scholars working in the area full time. Many other universities do work on AI Safety but are not ranked this year. By definition the list excludes all industry labs.
