The Future Society (TFS) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in the United States and Europe. Our mission is to align artificial intelligence through better governance. We develop, advocate for, and facilitate the implementation of AI governance mechanisms, ranging from laws and regulations to voluntary frameworks such as global principles, norms, standards, and corporate policies. As of 2023, we are focusing on the research and development of advanced AI systems, where robust safeguards will be necessary for ensuring that AI systems are safe and adhere to fundamental human values.
Our work spans a range of governance themes, including AI and the Rule of Law, European AI Governance, and Global AI Governance. Through our work, we collaborate with intergovernmental organizations, governments, companies, academic institutions, and other civil society organizations.
