Advancing safe intelligence
through scientific rigor and governance.

Investigating how advanced AI systems reason, misalign and can be guided safely

Our mission is to equip governments with a scientific understanding of the risks posed by advanced AI.

We are conducting research and building infrastructure to understand the capabilities and impacts of advanced AI and to develop and test risk mitigations.

Our Research Focus

We focus on key areas to address the most pressing AI safety challenges through rigorous research and policy development.

AI Safety Research

Our research centers on the technical foundations of AI safety, aiming to understand, interpret, and control the behavior of large-scale models. We investigate how neural representations emerge and interact by applying techniques such as activation steering, adversarial robustness analysis, and mechanistic interpretability. These methods help reveal internal reasoning patterns and prevent harmful behaviors. By creating tools for safe model control and evaluation, we strive to make advanced AI systems more transparent, reliable, and aligned with human intentions.

AI Safety Policy

Our policy research explores how governance frameworks, regulatory approaches, and international cooperation can ensure the safe and beneficial deployment of advanced AI systems. We analyze emerging global standards, risk-classification models, and institutional mechanisms for oversight, translating technical insights from AI safety research into actionable policy recommendations. By engaging policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders, we aim to bridge the gap between technical alignment and effective governance to build a trustworthy global AI ecosystem.
