Harnessing
Intelligence

We explore how intelligent systems learn, what they come to value as truth, and how their actions can remain accountable.

Our lines of inquiry

What holds as
intelligence changes?

Consciousness & agency

What would it mean for an intelligent system to have a point of view? We explore the relationship between experience, self-understanding, and action.

Learning & values

Reinforcement learning shapes behavior. We ask how that behavior relates to understanding, and what it takes for commitments to persist across contexts and time.

Enforceable safety

How can systems with unpredictable outputs act within dependable limits? We build around explicit authority, bounded actions, and evidence that can be checked.
