Our Approach
We don't just fund researchers. We give them engineering teams, compute, and infrastructure that multiply their impact.
How We Work
Three ways we accelerate alignment research.
Find High-Potential Researchers
We identify brilliant people working on neglected approaches with outsized potential, including researchers outside the alignment field whose ideas could reshape it.
Unblock Capacity-Constrained Work
Many researchers in the field have ideas they can't pursue because their current organization or funding only covers a narrow slice of what they're capable of. We fund the rest.
Accelerate with Engineering Teams
We embed dedicated engineering teams with funded researchers, providing compute, infrastructure, and an agile research methodology built from years of shipping complex systems. Ideas move from concept to published results fast.
Our Focus Areas
We fund and accelerate the technical research that makes AI trustworthy by design, and the policy work that ensures alignment becomes a national priority.
Technical Alignment Research
The core of what we do. We accelerate research into alignment properties that persist and strengthen as AI systems become more capable. Work that makes trustworthiness structural, so it can’t be optimized away. Our researchers collaborate with labs like Anthropic and universities like Princeton.
National Security and Policy
We bring alignment research to defense agencies like DARPA and senior government leaders, helping ensure AI safety informs national strategy and investment.
AI and Consciousness
Rigorous methods for measuring potential markers of consciousness in AI systems. As models become more sophisticated, understanding self-modeling and self-reference becomes critical to alignment.
Combatting Antisemitism in AI
AI models exhibit systematic antisemitic bias at their deepest levels. We support research that eliminates this bias at the core representation level of the model.
Partnership Pathways
Three ways to work with us.
Researchers
Apply for a grant. We provide funding, engineering teams, and infrastructure so you can focus on the research.
Organizations
Partner with us to identify and support high-potential alignment researchers. We bring the vetting, methodology, and technical capacity.
Government and Policy
Work with us to bring alignment research into national strategy and scale investment in trustworthy AI.
