About the Institute
Our Foundation
The Institute of Safe Intelligence was established in January 2025 in response to the unprecedented acceleration of artificial intelligence development and deployment across global markets. As AI systems demonstrated increasingly sophisticated capabilities—from advanced language models to autonomous decision-making systems—the need for rigorous, independent research into AI safety, alignment, and societal impact became paramount.
Our founding was catalyzed by the recognition that the rapid pace of AI advancement, while promising tremendous benefits for humanity, also introduced complex challenges that required dedicated, multidisciplinary expertise to address. The convergence of breakthroughs in machine learning, the proliferation of AI applications in critical sectors, and the emergence of increasingly capable AI systems necessitated a focused research institution committed to ensuring these technologies serve humanity's best interests.
Our Mission
The Institute of Safe Intelligence is dedicated to advancing the safe, beneficial, and ethical development of artificial intelligence through rigorous research, informed policy development, and global collaboration. We operate at the intersection of technical AI research, philosophical inquiry, and practical governance, seeking to understand and address the complex challenges posed by increasingly capable AI systems.
Our mission encompasses three core pillars: ensuring AI systems are robust, transparent, and aligned with human values; developing ethical frameworks and policy recommendations for responsible AI governance; and studying the long-term societal implications of AI advancement to inform decision-making at all levels—from individual organizations to international institutions.
Our Approach
We employ a multidisciplinary approach that combines cutting-edge technical research with deep philosophical analysis and practical policy development. Our research teams include computer scientists, ethicists, policy experts, economists, and social scientists who collaborate to address the multifaceted challenges of AI safety and governance.
The Institute maintains independence from commercial AI development organizations to ensure objective analysis and recommendations. We engage with stakeholders across academia, industry, government, and civil society to develop comprehensive solutions that balance innovation with safety, progress with responsibility, and advancement with ethical consideration.
Global Impact
As a leading research institution in AI safety and governance, the Institute of Safe Intelligence serves as a trusted resource for policymakers, industry leaders, and the broader public. Our research informs international discussions on AI regulation, corporate AI governance practices, and public understanding of AI risks and opportunities.
We actively contribute to global efforts to establish norms, standards, and frameworks for responsible AI development. Through our publications, policy briefings, and direct engagement with decision-makers, we work to ensure that the development of artificial intelligence proceeds in a manner that maximizes benefits while minimizing risks to human welfare and democratic values.
Looking Forward
The Institute of Safe Intelligence is committed to long-term thinking and proactive research that anticipates the challenges and opportunities of future AI systems. We recognize that the development of artificial intelligence represents one of the most significant technological and societal transformations in human history, and we are dedicated to ensuring this transformation benefits all of humanity.
Through rigorous research, thoughtful analysis, and collaborative engagement, we work toward a future where artificial intelligence serves as a powerful tool for human flourishing, guided by principles of safety, transparency, and ethical responsibility. The Institute remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing the safe and beneficial development of AI for the betterment of society and the preservation of human values in an increasingly automated world.
