AE Studio does frontier AI alignment research, AI strategy, and production AI system development. Bootstrapped. ~150 people. No outside investors. Founded in 2016 in Los Angeles.
The independence means we fund alignment research without anyone telling us to stop and we only take on work we actually believe in.
Our alignment work includes collaborations with DARPA and Anthropic, publications at top AI conferences, and active research on gradient routing, self-other overlap, endogenous steering resistance, multi-agent systems and several other neglected approaches.
We think AI is going to be the most transformative technology of our lifetimes, and we want to make sure it goes well. That means doing the research now, while we still have time to get it right.
