 Our History

 
 
 
 
 
 No one has a plan to make advanced AI systems safe. This realization led our founders, Adam & Karl, to start FAR.AI in July 2022 focused on technical innovation to make AI systems safe, and coordination to ensure these techniques are adopted. Since then, our research has been cited in congress, featured in major media outlets, and won best paper awards. Our programs have directed millions of dollars in grant funding and our events have empowered global leaders in AI safety. We're proud of what we've achieved, but our team is just getting started.
