The Simon Institute for Longterm Governance (SI) is a think tank based in Geneva, Switzerland, working to foster international cooperation on governing frontier AI.
They conduct research on international AI governance, facilitate exchange between technical and policy communities, and educate diplomats and civil servants about frontier AI’s opportunities, risks, and governance solutions.
SI was originally founded in 2021 to strengthen the multilateral system’s capacity to mitigate global catastrophic risks. They’ve since narrowed their focus to AI governance, recognizing AI as one of the most consequential technologies of our time.
