At the Center for AI Safety, our research focuses on mitigating high-consequence, societal-scale risks posed by AI.
We seek to develop foundational benchmarks and methods. To ensure that our work differentially improves the safety of AI systems, we do not pursue research which improves safety as a result of improving a model’s underlying general capabilities. Through our work, we strive to solve the technical challenge at the heart of AI safety.
In addition to our technical research, we also pursue conceptual research, examining AI safety from a multidisciplinary perspective and incorporating insights from safety engineering, complex systems, international relations, philosophy, and so on. Through our conceptual research, we create frameworks that aid in understanding the current technical challenges and publish papers which provide insight into the societal risks posed by future AI systems.
