∀   Our vision and mission

A future built on
cooperation and contracts.

AI has the potential to harm society, the economy, and the environment.

It also has the potential to accelerate social, economic, and scientific progress.

While there are many paths forward, we believe that legal and ethical frameworks are the best tools we have to ensure that our shared future is socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable.
