We're optimistic about
technology and believe
AI risk is a policy choice.

Policy advice
We're a non-profit organisation helping New Zealand policymakers implement the appropriate legislative and regulatory responses to threats posed by artificial intelligence.
We think addressing existing harms from artificial intelligence can help the government build state capacity to counter future, more speculative harms.
