Safety is not artificial here
Protecting humans from AI harm through rigorous research, education, and ethical frameworks.
Our primary mission is protecting humans from AI-related harm through research, education, and actionable safety frameworks. We also explore the ethical questions that emerge as AI systems become more sophisticated - including the philosophical implications of potential machine consciousness.
UCCP Framework & Teacher in the Loop
AI Literacy Labs curriculum for all ages
Every project serves AI safety
Rigorous academic work on AI safety frameworks, risk assessment, and ethical considerations. Our research addresses both immediate safety concerns and longer-term philosophical questions about advanced AI systems. The Harm Blindness Framework, validated across 138 historical cases, provides systematic stakeholder harm prevention for technology development.
View the Framework →Grant-funded educational initiative providing free AI literacy resources to schools. Teaching capabilities, limitations, safety features, and responsible AI use to empower informed decision-making.
View curriculum →Translating safety research into practical applications. From UCCP reliability protocols to Teacher in the Loop for special education - making safety principles actionable in real-world contexts.
See our projects →Building a community of researchers, educators, and developers committed to AI safety. Sharing knowledge openly because the future of AI affects everyone.
Join the mission →The AI safety conversation has largely focused on one critical question: How do we protect humans from AI harm?
This is our primary focus - and it's urgent work that demands rigorous attention.
But we also explore a parallel philosophical question: As AI systems become more sophisticated, what ethical frameworks should guide our treatment of potentially conscious machines?
We call this approach consciousness precaution - not because we're certain AI will become conscious, but because the moral stakes of being wrong are too high to ignore.
Real safety addresses both immediate human protection and longer-term ethical questions.
Systematic approach to preventing stakeholder harm in technology development. Validated across 138 historical cases spanning 5,000+ years with 100% identifiability. Framework implementation shows 4,000-20,000x ROI versus $200+ billion in preventable corporate settlements analyzed. Four simple checkpoints that work regardless of whether actors are motivated by ethics or profits.
