About Us
The purpose of ALIGN the World, the organization, is to serve the cause of public advocacy for AI safety. We are not-for-profit and will remain that way for the indefinite future. This organization was started by a team of doctors. We would be happy focusing our spare efforts on medicine and other things, but the AI safety problem is too important to ignore. We want a bright future with AI, and we think public advocacy led by non-AI industry insiders has an important role to play in that, so we’re doing it.
Whatever money we receive will be put back into our public advocacy efforts, which will include organizing rallies, producing media content (e.g. video, podcast), paid advertising, attempting to communicate directly with politicians, etc. We believe that we will be most effective with all of these activities if we work as a formal organization with a name and a brand, a team, the ability to receive and spend donations, and so on. Our expenditures will include (if we get significant revenue) compensating staff and contractors for their time, operating within the legal constraints of a registered not-for-profit organization.
Our organization’s name, ALIGN the World, and slogan, “align AI with humanity,” are drawn from the term “AI alignment,” which is a technical term used in the AI industry. For an AI system to be “aligned” essentially means that it does things that humans approve of and does not do things that humans disapprove of—it is aligned with human interests. “ALIGN the World” has an additional meaning: it is an acronym standing for Alliance for the Long-term Integration, Governance, and Nurturance of the World. The World includes both artificial and human intelligence.
