We conduct interdisciplinary AI research at the intersection of safety, governance, and the humanities and social sciences. Our nonprofit enables fast, flexible collaboration between AI researchers and domain experts across institutions, disciplines, and sectors — filling gaps that traditional academic structures can't. Founded by researchers who co-created the world's first human-centered AI curriculum in 2016, we serve as Principal Investigators representing the Modern Language Association in the NIST US AI Safety Institute Consortium and are recipients of a Schmidt Sciences HAVI grant.
LLM red/blue team testing, ethical auditing, multi-agent system evaluation, and comparative AI regulation. Our research contributes to AI safety conversations at NIST, UNESCO, and beyond.
An umbrella for distributed teams of diverse experts to secure funding and collaborate on AI research across geographic, institutional, and disciplinary boundaries.
All research tools and methodologies are open-source. Student research from the curriculum we co-created has been downloaded over 95,000 times by 4,000+ institutions worldwide.
