Research

Our work spans the technical, strategic, and governance dimensions of AI safety. Active research concentrates in three areas:

Security

Studying the attack surface of advanced AI systems — including model weights, training pipelines, deployment infrastructure, and the information-security posture of frontier labs. Check out our Security Guide.

Strategy & Forecasting

Mapping AI development trajectories, identifying high-leverage interventions, and analyzing how transformative AI will reshape institutions, economies, and global risk.

Policy & Governance

Examining regulatory frameworks, compliance and verification mechanisms, compute governance, and the international coordination challenges posed by frontier AI development.
