Assuming that I missed 10% of orgs, this gives a rough estimate for the total number of FTEs working on AI safety or adjacent work at ~1000, not including students or faculty members. This is likely an underestimate, as there are a lot of AI safety-adjacent orgs in areas like AI security and robustness.
