HARPI: Anonymous research for human survival
HARPI is an anonymous research institute working across AI safety, mathematics, and policy to address the risk of advanced AI.
Field notes
HARPI divides its stated program among advanced-AI alignment and evaluation, mathematical work on uncertainty and decision-making, and policy analysis of institutions and incentives. Its homepage also sets out an editorial method: make assumptions explicit, separate evidence from judgment, and leave conclusions open to revision. The institute invites original research, reviews, and policy collaborations, while its authorship policy permits anonymous contributions. A featured letter to Congress proposes an “Absolute Alignment Act.”
