Summary
FAR.AI (Fund for Alignment Research) is a nonprofit technical AI safety research institute that conducts and incubates research on frontier AI safety challenges, shares findings through peer-reviewed publications and government partnerships, and engages in red-teaming with leading AI companies. Their research portfolio covers model evaluation, adversarial robustness, and persuasion risks, with the goal of delivering novel technical breakthroughs where academia and commercial sector fall short.
Key Points
- •FAR.AI operates as a nonprofit to fill research gaps too large for academia and insufficiently profitable for industry, focusing on high-confidence safety guarantees.
- •Research impact channels include incubating novel safety solutions, scaling promising approaches via collaborations and grantmaking, and informing policy and congressional testimony.
- •Recent work includes studying LLM persuasion risks (political manipulation, disinformation) and a new attack method (STACK) achieving 71% success on catastrophic-risk scenarios bypassing layered defenses.
- •Engages directly with frontier AI developers through red-teaming exercises to facilitate rapid adoption of safety findings.
- •Partners with governmental AI safety institutes to translate research into technical standards and policy guidance.

Complex problems demand complex solutions.
FAR.AI conducts research to address fundamental artificial intelligence (AI) safety challenges. We rapidly explore a diverse portfolio of technical research agendas, de-risking and scaling up only the most promising solutions. We share our research outputs through peer-reviewed publications, via partnerships with governmental AI safety institutes, and through red-teaming engagements for leading AI companies.
As AI systems become more powerful and integrated into society, it’s critical to ensure they remain trustworthy, secure, and aligned with human interests. The stakes are high, yet currently, there are no known techniques capable of providing high-confidence guarantees of safety for frontier AI systems.
FAR.Research is dedicated to delivering the novel technical breakthroughs needed to mitigate the potential risks posed by frontier AI. As a non-profit research institute, we leverage our unique flexibility to focus on critical research directions that may be too large or resource-intensive for academia and often overlooked by the commercial sector due to their lack of immediate profitability.
Our Impact
We drive change through incubating research, scaling safety solutions, and informing policy.
Incubating
We derisk and develop innovative solutions to trustworthy & secure AI. Through incubating research, we share key insights, research roadmaps, and tools needed for the broader research community to identify and make progress.
Scaling
We scale up the most promising safety solutions via in-house research, external collaborations, and targeted grantmaking. We facilitate rapid adoption of our findings by working with frontier model developers through red-teaming and other exercises.
Informing
Our research provides expert insights informing policy and public discussion. Our work has been cited in congressional testimony and mainstream media. In this way, we contribute to the establishment of technical standards that guide the development of AI.
