SIRDA editorial
At a glance
Yoshua Bengio-founded nonprofit developing safe-by-design approaches to advanced AI, centered on the Scientist AI research agenda.
Its current place in the ecosystem spans alignment and control, interpretability, and loss of control and strategic behavior.
Current work and relevance
LawZero is developing Scientist AI as a safe-by-design alternative to goal-directed agents. In September 2026 it announced a commitment of up to $300 million in joint funding from Canada and Germany, following its July formal safety case for a 'disinterested' AI predictor.
SIRDA tracks LawZero because independent nonprofit work can supply research, evaluation, field-building, or public-interest scrutiny outside frontier AI developers. That independence is especially valuable when evidence needs to remain contestable and when no single institution should control the full decision chain.
