About Us

FAR.AI is a non-profit AI research institute working to ensure advanced AI is safe and beneficial for everyone. Our mission is to facilitate breakthrough AI safety research, advance global understanding of AI risks and solutions, and foster a coordinated global response.

We’re structured to support that work from early research through real-world adoption:

Independent by design. We can pursue what’s most impactful based on our theory of change and share what we find publicly.

A portfolio approach. Rather than focus on one single direction, we run diverse bets across the safety stack. We take promising ideas from initial experiments to deployment, informed by red-team partnerships with frontier labs and governments.

Serious infrastructure for ambitious research. A dedicated engineering team runs our compute cluster and experiment-scaling stack, so researchers spend their time on research instead of on infra.

Setting the standard. Our events convene key decision makers; our red-team works with frontier developers and governments; and our communications inform the public. Together, this drives adoption and sets the new standard in safety.

Since our founding in July 2022, we’ve grown to 50+ staff, published 40+ academic papers, and convened leading AI safety events. Our work is recognized globally, with publications at premier venues such as NeurIPS, ICML including a Best Paper Honorable Mention in 2026, and ICLR, and features in the Financial Times, Nature News, Wired Magazine and MIT Technology Review. We conduct pre-deployment testing on behalf of frontier developers such as OpenAI and independent evaluations for governments including the EU AI Office and publish the AI Security Leaderboard based on our red-teaming expertise. We help steer and grow the AI safety field through developing research roadmaps with renowned researchers such as Yoshua Bengio; running FAR.Labs, an AI safety-focused co-working space in Berkeley housing 40+ members; and supporting the community through targeted grants to technical researchers.

FAR.AI is seeking an experienced writer and editor to lead development of our written content. You will report into our Communications Team Lead and work across the communications team to shape our narrative, content and messaging. You will work closely with our researchers to translate their research findings into actionable insights for policymakers and corporate decisionmakers across formats from op-eds, blog posts and research papers. We’d love to hear from you if you thrive on communicating complicated technical subject matters and want to shape the future of AI development toward a safer trajectory.

About Communications at FAR.AI

We believe that AI will be the defining technology of the 21st century. These systems could bring with them unprecedented benefits, but they also pose unprecedented risks, up to human extinction. We already know that AI will fundamentally affect everyone’s lives, reshaping the nature of work and upending geopolitics. Yet few people outside of Silicon Valley appreciate what is about to happen. Key decisionmakers in governments and companies have a limited view on what is to come, while the general public are even more in the dark.

Communications at FAR.AI fills this urgent gap. As a research and education non-profit, we are a trusted, independent third-party that can cut through the hype, avoid fear mongering, while delivering credible warnings when a technology truly poses a danger….
