Who We Are

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research organization focused on utilizing foresight to mitigate societal-scale risks from advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and other potential global catastrophic risks.  

We have three core research areas: 

1. We combine the use of horizon scanning, wargaming, and red teaming to support crisis management planning for near-term plausible catastrophic risks from AI.
2. We use various simulation techniques, like agent-based modeling and Monte Carlo simulation, to better understand mid- to long-term societal-scale risks from advanced AI.
3. We conduct research on existential resilience, an underexplored domain of research on mitigating catastrophic and existential risk.
