I don’t see any realistic world where you both manage to get government permission to allow you to genetically engineer children for intelligence and they let you specifically raise them to do safety work far enough in advance that they actually have time to contribute and in a way that outweighs any PR risk.
Embryo selection for intelligence does not require government permission to do. You can do it right now. You only need the models and the DNA. I’ve been planning on releasing a website that allows people to upload genetic data they get from LifeView for months, but I haven’t gotten around to finishing it for the same reason I think that others aren’t.
Part of me wants to not post this just because I want to be the first to make the website, but that seems immoral, so, here.
Both cloning and embryo selection are not illegal in many places, including the US. (This article suggests that for cloning you may have to satisfy the FDA’s safety concerns, which perhaps ought to be possible for a well-resourced organization.) And you don’t have to raise them specifically for AI safety work. I would probably announce that they will be given well-rounded educations that will help them solve whatever problems that humanity may face in the future.

Interesting. I had no idea.
