TagLast edit: Jan 16, 2025, 5:00 PM by Tilman

Pivotal Research, previously known as the Swiss Existential Risk Initiative or CHERI, is an organization focused on researching and reducing global catastrophic risks, particularly those related to advanced artificial intelligence and biotechnology.

The organization supports aspiring researchers and provides the necessary infrastructure to enhance the talent pipeline in the field of global catastrophic risk. It emphasizes support for individuals committed to making a significant impact on reducing existential threats.

Central to Pivotal Research’s activities is the Pivotal Research Fellowship, a nine-week research program based in London for individuals interested in the reduction of global catastrophic risks.
