The Lab At A Glance

The Global Public Benefit AI Lab (or "Lab") is a planned open, public-private, democratically-governed joint-venture - among an open consortium critical mass of diverse states and AI labs aimed to achieve and sustain a solid global leadership or co-leadership in human-controllable AI capability, technical alignment research and AI safety measures. 

  • The Lab will accrue capabilities and resources of member states and firms, and distribute dividends and control to member states and directly to their citizens, while stimulating and safeguarding the initiative of state and private firms for innovation and oversight. 

  • The Lab is one of three agencies of a new intergovernmental organization being built via the Harnessing AI Risk Initiative, ato catalyze is gathering in Geneva a critical mass of globally-diverse states to design and jump-start an open global constituent assembly and joint venture to build the most capable safe AI, and reliably ban unsafe ones - open to all states and firms to join on equal terms.

  • The Lab will seek to achieve and sustain a resilient “mutual dependency” in its wider supply chain vis-a-vis superpowers and future public-private consortia - via joint investments, diplomacy, trade relations and strategic industrial assets of participant states - while remaining open to merge with them in a single global organization and a single global AI lab to achieve humanity-controlled AI.

  • The Lab will cost $15+ billion and be primarily funded via project finance, buttressed by pre-licensing and pre-commercial procurement from participating states and client firms.

Opportunities

We offer opportunities to:

  • (a) Engage in MoU or formal direct investments and/or donations from $50,000 to $500,000 through our non-profit vehicle Trustless Computing Association;

  • (b) Engage in MoUs for larger amounts up to $2 billions.

  • (c) Apply to participate as audience, sponsor or speakers in our at the 1st Harnessing AI Risk Summit in Geneva next November to explore the above opportunities with other partners and prospects of the Lab and the Initiative.

Investments carry a cap of 50x on its returns, and have no voting rights, except for sovereign funds, to maintain the democratic governance of the Lab. 

The initial proceeds of the fundraising will enable us to hire relevant staff and experts, including two already-identified staff with exceptional skills: a senior high-level AI infrastructure architect and a top-level Geneva-based diplomatic official. 

Larger sums will go to building a much wider team, power charging our attraction of state and AI labs as members, expanding partnerships and structuring the lab from a governance, financial and international law point of view.
