What they do
SIRDA editorial
At a glance
Technical AI-safety research organization focused on AI control, adversarial evaluation, strategic deception and methods for safely using potentially misaligned systems.
Its current place in the ecosystem spans alignment and control, loss of control and strategic behavior, and evaluation and independent auditing. SIRDA tags its operational role as AI evaluation.
Current work and relevance
Redwood's September 2026 work examines monitorability, opaque serial reasoning, chain-of-thought controllability, and GPT-6 Astra behavior; it also co-investigated the OpenAI/Hugging Face agent incident with METR.
SIRDA tracks Redwood Research as part of the measurement and verification layer. Its work is most relevant where technical findings must become trusted evidence for decisions. The constitutional problem begins after measurement: who interprets the result, how uncertainty is represented, and what procedure authorizes a consequential response.
