This century is critical for humanity. We build tech, infrastructure, and community to navigate it.

This century is critical for humanity. We build tech, infrastructure, and community to navigate it.

Humanity's future could be vast, spanning billions of flourishing galaxies, reaching far into our future light cone [1]. However, it seems humanity might never achieve this; we might not even survive the century. To increase our odds, we build services and infrastructure for people who are helping humanity navigate this crucial period.

[1]: Or even more than the light cone, depending on how the [acausal trade stuff](https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/acausal-trade) works out.

Lightcone Infrastructure

We research and communicate the capabilities and risks posed by advanced artificial intelligence systems. 

We research dangerous AI capabilities to better understand misuse risks from current systems, and how advances in hacking, deception, and persuasion will affect the risk of catastrophic AI outcomes. We create concrete demonstrations of dangerous capabilities to advise policy makers and the public on AI risks.

We are working closely with government agencies, policy think tanks, and media organizations to inform relevant decision makers. For example, [our](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.20624) [work](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.00117) demonstrating that it is possible to effectively undo Llama 2-Chat 70B’s safety fine-tuning for less than $200 has been used to [confront](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/13/senate-ai-hearing-musk-zuckerburg-schumer/) Mark Zuckerberg in the first of Chuck Schumer’s Insight Forums, cited by Senator Hassan in a [senate hearing](https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/subcommittees/etso/hearings/advanced-technology-examining-threats-to-national-security/) on threats to national security, and used to advise the UK AI Safety Institute.

FAR.AI’s mission is to ensure AI systems are trustworthy and beneficial to society. 

We incubate and accelerate research agendas that are too resource-intensive for academia but not yet ready for commercialization by industry. Our research spans work on adversarial robustness, interpretability and preference learning.
