The Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI) is focused on addressing the critical challenges associated with artificial superintelligence (ASI) and its potential risks, including the existential threat it poses to humanity. For over two decades, MIRI has been a pioneer in AI alignment research, developing theoretical frameworks to ensure that advanced AI systems can be aligned with human values and safety.
