We are building safe and beneficial AGI, but will also consider our mission fulfilled if our work aids others to achieve this outcome.

Our structure
We are governed by a nonprofit and our unique capped-profit model drives our commitment to safety. This means that as AI becomes more powerful, we can redistribute profits from our work to maximize the social and economic benefits of AI technology.
