AI and other technologies are rapidly evolving, outpacing our institutions’ abilities to address risks and opportunities. Could AI itself be used to imagine and build new institutions, so we can better collaborate, govern, and live together?

Looking back at our Alignment Assemblies work so far and reflecting on lessons learnt.

We’ve been experimenting with different ways that collective input from society can shape AI development, and are excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Anthropic to pilot one way of doing this: training a model to behave according to a collectively-designed constitution.

We are seeking an exceptional Operations Lead to join us as our first hire and third member. This person will not only drive CIP’s day-to-day operations, but also help co-create the organization’s future as we begin to scale. This role is an opportunity to build CIP from the ground up, and affect the direction of transformative technology development broadly.

Developing more multidimensional, collectively intelligent assessments for large language models is a first priority for AI governance. After all, we can’t figure out what to do if we don’t first know what’s going on.

Introducing Alignment Assemblies: our pilots to incorporate collective intelligence into the building of artificial intelligence, in partnership with OpenAI and Anthropic.
