Artificial intelligence will change the world. Our mission is to ensure that this change happens safely and to the benefit of everyone.
Our initiatives include research sprints that have engaged over 1,000 researchers and produced 180 research projects across 15 events hosted in 7 continents at more than 40 locations. The teams of the most promising of these projects receive lead authorship through our Apart Lab fellowship, aimed at publication in top-tier academic venues.
We engage in both original research and contracting for research projects that aim to translate academic insights into actionable strategies for mitigating catastrophic risks associated with AI. We have co-authored with researchers from the University of Oxford, DeepMind, Edinburgh University, and more.
Our aim is to foster a positive vision and an action-focused approach to AI safety, a commitment underscored by our signing of both the Statement on AI Risk and the Letter for an AI Moratorium. Taking the risks of artificial intelligence seriously, we are privileged to not only be tightly connected with but also actively develop a large community focused on AI safety.
We research technical topics within AI safety; mechanistic interpretability, process supervision, safety benchmarks, and more. In the Apart Lab, entrants in AI safety research get the opportunity to publish their research work in collaboration with our team.

The pace of AI development is accelerating, and it's clear that AI systems will soon surpass human capabilities in various areas [1]. As we continue to push the boundaries of technology, ensuring the safety of these systems is paramount. Without the right precautions, we risk encountering significant challenges.
At Apart, we're devoted to exploring and addressing the fundamental issues in AI safety. Our objective is to enhance our collective understanding of AI and devise methods to improve its safety.
We encourage you to stay engaged and join the conversation. Together, we can influence the trajectory of AI, steering it towards a future that is safe and responsibly developed.
