Research lab
Research organization studying AI governance, focusing on policy, safety and risk-mitigation strategies for advanced artificial intelligence systems.

A new study traces 87 per cent of documented demand surges at government services to one capability, cheaply produced text, and its authors say 84 cases prove existence without measuring how widespread the flooding has become.

A 24-page national security science strategy calls brain-computer interfaces and digital assets critical technologies. Open weights and open-source development appear nowhere in it.
