What happened
The alignment team at the UK's AI Security Institute and Timaeus have jointly founded Sequent, a nonprofit research organization. It argues that “alignment is not on track” and plans to grow to 40–80 full-time staff within two years, with an initial fundraising target of $100–150 million. Research areas include scalable oversight, learning theory, heuristic argumentation, game theory, and personas.
