I think something about “Machine ethics” sounds best to me. “Machine learning” is essentially statistics with a computational flavor, but it has a much sexier name. You think statistics and you think boring tables, you think “machine learning” and you think Matrix or Terminator.
Joke suggestions: “Mom’s friendly robot institute,” “Institute for the development of typesafe wishes” (ht Hofstadter).

Singularity Institute for Machine Ethics.
Keep the old brand, add clarification about flavor of singularity.
I like this one a lot. Term that has a clear meaning in the existing literature.
But Machine Ethics generally refers to narrow AI—I think it’s too vague (but then, “AI” might have the same problem).
