Advancing
Neglected Approaches
for AI Safety

Backing brilliant researchers with impactful, neglected ideas through technical expertise and seamless project execution

Our Mission:

At Flourishing Future Foundation, we bring rigorous scientific research and technical expertise to empower visionary thinkers exploring neglected approaches in AI alignment—maximizing humanity's chance of achieving safe, transformative AI. We believe safety is not a limitation on capability but a foundation for building AI systems that truly serve humanity's needs.

Our strategy is to back exceptional researchers with neglected but impactful ideas, provide the infrastructure and technical support to bring these visions to life, and scale successful approaches through public-private partnerships. By diversifying our alignment research portfolio and creating systematic frameworks, we are taking numerous "shots on goal" to mitigate AI risks and build a flourishing future for humanity.

Accelerating AI Alignment Through Neglected Research

Empowering Visionary Thinkers

We identify and support "lone genius" types with neglected alignment ideas that are ahead of their time. We learned to spot brilliant individuals whose ideas are ready to be backed and amplified, equipping them with technical experts who can transform their visions into reality.

Supporting Neglected Approaches

We invest in high-risk, overlooked directions, like our Self-Other Overlap (SOO) work, which shows how neglected approaches can reduce deceptive behavior without sacrificing capabilities. Through a venture-style approach, we explore solutions that treat alignment as a pathway to greater scalability and reliability.

Shaping the Future of Aligned AI

We're scaling our approach to include several transformative projects over the next years, creating a reproducible framework for pursuing neglected alignment approaches that combines government funding with agile development.
