Our focus areas
We currently concentrate on four emerging technologies: advanced AI, biotechnology, neurotechnology, and climate interventions. What sets these technologies apart is that they can have an asymmetric impact on a global scale; are developing at accelerating or even exponential rates; and lack clearly defined governance frameworks. Explore more about each programme below.
Focus areas
Advanced AI
Advanced AI is reshaping our world—but what does it take to ensure these systems remain trustworthy and safe for humanity?
Biotech
Emerging biotechnologies hold the power to heal and regenerate in unimaginable ways. We’re working to ensure its wonders benefit humanity responsibly.
Neurotech
How can neurotechnology enhance human potential while safeguarding dignity, agency, and societal well-being?
Climate interventions
As climate impacts worsen, we explore how to approach high-stakes climate interventions – wisely, grounded in sound science, and through broad dialogue.
Cross-cutting programmes
Incubator
The Incubator explores emerging topics that sit between or outside academic or policy siloes – ideally long before they become emergencies dominating headlines.
