AI Objectives Institute, 501(c)(3).
A nonprofit R&D lab decoding and realigning the incentives that determine AI futures.
AI Objectives Institute (AOI) focuses on harnessing the potential of large-scale systems, including AI, markets, and bureaucracies, to advance humanity's interests.
Founded by the late internet pioneer Dr. Peter Eckersley, the Institute is a non-profit research lab working to ensure that both AI and future economic systems are built and deployed with genuine human objectives at their core, enabled by broad public input, free markets and scalable cooperation.
The organization collaborates with and employs working groups of academics, scientists, economists, entrepreneurs, and government officials. Our team explores solutions to keep societal benefit central to how AI impacts society — at the level of individuals, collectives, and systems.
In our work we create tools, research, and processes that facilitate the selection of more beneficial systemic objectives - with a bias towards the intersection of democracy, markets and AI progress.
Our work falls into four broad categories:
Decode the incentives, steer the outcome.
