My understandings is that dath ilan has the cilivizational cooperation to not build AGI or increase its civilizational technological capacities until the alignment problem is solved, which means it can take as long as it needs to solve the alignment problem. No “race against time” issue. I think it’s fairly obvious there is a secret goverment project working on AI alignment.
It has been explicitly written into one of the dath ilan isekai stories that there is indeed a project in dath ilan to both solve AI alignment and to suppress further computer technology progress until after alignment is fully solved.
Edit: More than that: it is essentially the central project that defines much of the course of civilization.

This is not obvious to me, although I wish it were the case. How do you think you know this?
Sorry, I meant in that is the case in dath ilan.
