Summary

The official website of the Future of Humanity Institute (FHI), an Oxford University research center that was foundational in establishing the fields of existential risk research and AI safety. FHI closed on 16 April 2024 after approximately two decades of influential work. The site now serves as an archived record of the institution's history, research agenda, and legacy.

Key Points

•FHI was one of the earliest and most influential academic institutions dedicated to existential risk and AI safety research, helping to legitimize and shape these fields.
•The institute officially closed on 16 April 2024; its research legacy continues through numerous external organizations it helped inspire or seed.
•FHI housed prominent researchers including Nick Bostrom, Toby Ord, and many others who produced foundational work in AI alignment, biosecurity, and global catastrophic risk.
•The institute was home to research groups including the Governance of AI Program and the Center for Human-Compatible AI collaboration efforts.
•The website is now primarily an archived reference; active research in these areas has migrated to organizations like GovAI, MIRI, Anthropic, and others.

 Organization: Archive Team
 

 

 Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.


History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.


The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.


This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work. 


Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.


The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
