As an academicish person, I suggest a few questions that bothered me at first: Why aren’t more artificial intelligence research groups at universities working on FAI? Why doesn’t the Singularity Institute publish all of its literature reviews and other work?
Singularity/AI is a reasonable (if you agree with a number of assumption and extrapolations SI/EY are fond of) but an ultimately untestable concept (until it is too late, anyway), so govt funding would be hard to come by. Add to this the expected time frame of at least a few decades, and good luck getting a grant application approved for this research.

“Are there refereed publications on FAI in mainstream academic Ai research venues? Why not?”
