Bringing clarity on ASI risks
Superintelligent AI could cause human extinction. Most of the field won't say so.
Leading AI experts warn that industry leaders could build systems powerful enough to pose an extinction risk within the next two to five years — yet most organizations working on "AI safety" never say so plainly to policymakers or the public. CASIR funds and coordinates the ones that do.

Our mission
CASIR funds and coordinates organizations and individuals working to reduce extinction risk from superintelligent AI — and requires them to speak publicly and honestly about that risk, and to engage transparently with democratic institutions.
Discover our MissionOur charter
CASIR grants only to organizations that pass three tests — Clarity, Straightforwardness, Professionalism — classifying each as a CASIR Member or CASIR Partner under a hard funding-allocation rule, so a donor can see in seconds what a grant is for.
