It works with governments and other institutions to improve relevant governance, processes, and decision-making.
CLTR focuses on two areas of risk where effective governance today could substantially mitigate both current and future threats:
Artificial intelligence (AI) , including risks arising from unethical uses of AI, from AI systems behaving in unintended ways in high-stakes domains, and from the broader impacts of AI on the economy and society.
Biosecurity, including risks arising from naturally occurring pandemics, laboratory leaks, bioweapons and ‘dual-use’ research (advances that can be used for harm as well as good) .
CLTR also focuses on Risk Management more broadly — the process of both transforming risk governance, and of identifying, assessing and mitigating all extreme risks.
It helps governments and other institutions transform resilience to extreme risks by:
Helping decision-makers and the wider public to understand extreme risks and what can be done about them.
Providing expert advice and red-teaming on policy decisions.
Convening cross-sector conversations and workshops related to extreme risks.
Developing and advocating for policy recommendations and effective risk management frameworks and systems.
Providing an exchange for specialist knowledge, including by facilitating expert placements into government.
Funding
In August 2023 Founders Pledge published a profile on the Centre for Long-Term Resilience, recommending them as a funding option.
As of June 2022, the Centre for Long-Term Resilience has received over $2.8 million in funding from the Survival and Flourishing Fund, [1] [2] [3] and $100,000 from the EA Infrastructure Fund. [4]
CLTR’s 2022 Annual Report [5] also refers to over £1 million from a private foundation (focused primarily on impact investing, the promotion of social responsibility and making grants that benefit low and middle-income countries). It also mentions $100,000 from The Powoki Foundation (which focuses on safeguarding humanity from global challenges, such as safely navigating synthetic biology and advanced artificial intelligence).
