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.
