Having just come back from EA Global in SF I will say I have a much stronger sense that there are a decent number of people hoping to start thinking and talking about coordination for AI safety and there were at least a significant number of people there (maybe as many as 30) talking to each other at the conference about it. I’d now update my answer to say I am more confident that there is some dedicated effort happening in this direction, including from Center for Emerging Technologies, Global Catastrophic Risk Initiative, and others spread out over multiple organizations.
