I concur. Whenever I describe what I would be doing if I volunteered for SIAI, I avoid mentioning its name entirely and just say that they deal in “robotics” (which I tend to use instead of AI) at the “theoretical level” and that they want to bring to the “level of human intelligence” and that they study “risks to humanity”.
Of course, this is all “counting chickens ’fore they’re hatched” at this point, because I haven’t sent my email/CV to Anna Salamon yet...
