Why This Matters Now
Capabilities Outpace Safety
GPT-4, Claude 3, Gemini Ultra deploy before alignment research solves fundamental problems—scaling without safety.
Existential Risk Timeline
AGI arrival estimates shrink yearly while core safety problems remain unsolved—misalignment could be catastrophic.
Coordination Failure
Safety tax disincentivizes caution—competitive pressure pushes deployment before adequate testing.
Irreversible Consequences
Unlike software bugs, misaligned superintelligence offers no patch window—we must get it right first time.
Our Focus Areas
- Value Alignment Research — Ensuring AI systems pursue human-compatible objectives at scale
- Robustness & Adversarial Security — AI systems resistant to manipulation and edge-case failures
- Mechanistic Interpretability — Understanding internal representations and decision processes
- Scalable Oversight — Supervising AI systems more capable than human evaluators
- Corrigibility & Interruptibility — AI systems that accept correction and shutdown
- Formal Verification Methods — Mathematical proofs of safety properties
- Cooperative Multi-Agent Systems — Safe AI-AI and human-AI collaboration
