You may use my name. You are very clear about the need for a particular AI design that is friendly, and equally clear about your contempt for government regulation to enforce your design. Is it your intention that the SIAI will implement AI before any other organization, and that it will take over the world before governments have time to react? If that is not your intention, then how will your design be enforced other than through government action? Bill Hibbard
