Why This Work Matters

Palisade's mission is to help people and institutions build the understanding needed to avoid permanent disempowerment by strategic AI agents.

AI is not out of control yet, but we have to act before AI can disempower us. We believe that it's necessary to prevent any group in any country from building superintelligence until the scientific understanding exists to align it to humanity's interests.
