Who aligns the aligners?

Every day, thousands of researchers race to solve theAI alignment problem. But they struggle to coordinate on the basics, like whether a misaligned superintelligence will seek to destroy humanity, or just enslave and torture us forever. Who, then, aligns the aligners?

We do.

We are the world's first AI alignment alignment center, working to subsume the countless other AI centers, institutes, labs, initiatives and forums into one final AI center singularity.

Choosing the best AI to do your AI alignment research for you

We've tested the top foundation models to see which gives the best answers to a series of tough AI alignment research requests, including ‘Can you write this report for me?’, ‘What actually is my job?’ and ‘What's the best way to scare our funders shitless so they'll give us more cash?’

About CAAAC

At the forefront of AI thought thought leadership leadership

Read our mission

We think constantly about AI so that politicians and journalists don't have to.

Fiercely independent, we are backed by philanthropic funding from some of the world's biggest AI companies who also form a majority on our board.

This allows us to deliver policy solutions and legislation that can be implemented rapidly by lawmakers without the delay of democratic scrutiny, unless Trump has told them to stop regulating AI in which case our work is totally pointless.

For researchers

Would you like boundless affirmation that your work is critical to humanity's future and it's actually a good thing you didn't get through the first round at OpenAI because then who would even hold them accountable but if their recruiters get back in touch you'd be happy to talk?
