Protecting human joy and endeavour
LawZero is a nonprofit startup developing technical solutions for highly-capable, safe-by-design AI systems.
The challenge: Current frontier AI systems are becoming more capable and autonomous, yet they remain opaque and misaligned with human goals. These systems are already showing many early signs of deception behaviors and self preservation, creating growing uncertainty about how these systems will behave with even greater abilities to strategize autonomously.
Our solution: We are building a multi-step pathway to safe advanced AI, so that future AI systems are developed and deployed responsibly, equitably, and as a global public good.
Simply put, we are creating a fundamentally new form of advanced AI, designed to be trustworthy and safe.
Our scientific direction is based on groundbreaking research led by Professor Yoshua Bengio, a globally recognized expert in AI and the world’s most cited living scientist across all fields.
