What holds AI safety together? Co-authorship networks from 200 papers
We (social science PhD students) computed co-authorship networks based on a corpus of 200 AI safety papers covering 2015-2025, and we’d like your help checking if the underlying dataset is right.Co-authorship networks make visible the relative prominence of entities involved in AI safety research, and trace relationships between them. Although frontier labs produce lots of research, they remain surprisingly insular — universities dominate centrality in our graphs. The network is held together by
