About Us
ControlAI is a non-profit organization that works to reduce the risks to humanity from artificial intelligence.
We develop policy and legislation; secure media coverage; produce high-quality videos and infographics; design and run effective digital and physical campaigns; organize events; and influence policymakers. We have secured public support for our campaigns from high-ranking politicians, have authored draft bills for the UK and US, have created multiple viral videos, and have led international coalitions.
In the UK, we operate as a nonprofit (a “private company limited by guarantee”), and in the US we operate as a nonprofit 501(c)(4).
Our focus
There is a simple truth - humanity’s extinction is possible. Recent history has also shown us another truth - we can create artificial intelligence (AI) that can rival humanity.
We do not know how to control AI vastly more powerful than us. Should attempts to build superintelligence succeed, this would risk our extinction as a species. But humanity can choose a different future: there is a narrow path through.
