AE Studio: AI Alignment

AE Studio | AI Alignment Research AE Studio AI Alignment Research - Neglected Approaches to Solving the Alignment Problem

 Hover over lines to ALIGN them. Then scroll down for more ALIGNMENT! Tap text to ALIGN. Then scroll down for more ALIGNMENT! Alignment is solvable. The real problem? No one's really tried yet. We are, and we're focused where the leverage is highest: the neglected approaches that science forgot.

 AI development is advancing at an exponential pace. Every leap forward escalates both immense opportunities and (existential) risks.

 Superficial safety tactics (RLHF, prompt engineering, output filtering) just aren't enough. They're brittle guardrails masking deeper structural misalignments. Recent results have revealed even minimally fine-tuned models capable of producing profoundly harmful outputs, hiding dangerous backdoors, and deceptively faking their own alignment.

At AE, our stance is clear and urgent: Alignment isn't solved. It's fundamentally a scientific R&D problem, and the stakes of getting this right literally couldn't be higher.

 AE Studio's open letter on the importance of AI alignment research AI is rapidly integrating into our minds, our economies, and our militaries, yet we still don't understand how it works. That's already alarming. But when we surveyed top alignment researchers, fewer than one in ten believed today's methods would actually solve the core problem before AGI. That's a crisis.

So we're doing the hard thing: building a Bell Labs-style research engine, self-funded and independent, focused on actually solving alignment at the root.

 We're building for the future because the stakes are real.

 Our Journey

 Follow our evolution from a tech consultancy to becoming pioneers in AI alignment research.

 2016

 AE Studio is born!

 The tech consultancy stork brought baby AE Studio to Judd Rosenblatt. Today, we're a team of about 120 talented individuals - programmers, product designers, and data scientists - united by our mission to increase human agency. 2021

 Started our journey in BCI

 AE Studio began its work in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) with the goal of accelerating the field and supporting open-source development. We didn't trust companies like Meta or Neuralink to control the extension of human thought, so we helped advance competitors, including backing Blackrock Neurotech, the developer of the first FDA-approved invasive BCI, while contributing to the open-source ecosystem through initiatives like our Neurotech Developers Toolkit. Later, we partnered with one of the first Focused Research Organizations, Forest Neurotech, which was co-founded by a former member of AE. 2021
