This is bias in the community. The majority of the information from
SingInst, for example, focuses on digital ai and not the potential ai
that we can get from the bio sector, like through synbio and
gengineering and tissue engineering of neurons and brains.
Perhaps you (or someone) need to make a sufficient case that potential
treat/promise is as great in that area. There is certainly room for
more than one highly focused organization so there is no need to argue
that the Singularity Institute should be focused on something more or
other than its current focus imho.
