AI Safety Papers is a website to quickly explore papers around AI Safety. The code is hosted on Github here.

In December 2020, Jess Riedel and Angelica Deibel announced the TAI Safety Bibliographic Database. At the time, they wrote:

In this post we present the first public version of our bibliographic database of research on the safety of transformative artificial intelligence (TAI). The primary motivations for assembling this database were to:
Aid potential donors in assessing organizations focusing on TAI safety by collecting and analyzing their research output.
Assemble a comprehensive bibliographic database that can be used as a base for future projects, such as a living review of the field.
…
The core database takes the form of a Zotero library. Snapshots are also available as Google Sheet, CSV, and Zotero RDF. (Compact version for easier human reading: Google Sheet, CSV.)

One significant limitation of this system was that there was no great frontend for it. Tabular data and RDF can be useful for analysis, but difficult to casually go through.

We’ve been experimenting with creating a web frontend to this data. You can see this at http://ai-safety-papers.quantifieduncertainty.org.

This system acts a bit like Google Scholar or other academic search engines. However, the emphasis on AI-safety related papers affords a few advantages.

Only papers valuable to AI safety are shown
There’s easy filtering for papers by particular AI safety related organizations or researchers.
There’s simple integration with blurbs from the Alignment Newsletter and Gyrodiot.
We can include blog posts as well as formal academic works. This is important because a lot of valuable writing is posted directly to blogs like Lesswrong and The Alignment Forum.
Later on, we could emphasize custom paper metrics. For example, there could be combinations of citations and blog post karma count.

Tips

Most of the fields are clickable. Click on an author to see other papers with the same author, or on a tag to see other papers which also have it.
To quickly go through query results, use the up and down arrows after entering a search.
Besides the search function, there is also an (Airtable) table view, which can be browsed directly or downloaded as a CSV.
