Co-working Space

A home for AI safety work in Cape Town.

Differential progress: develop technologies that help society manage complexity, handle risk, and distribute benefits, rather than technologies that just scale raw capability.
Defensive advantage: prioritizing tools that make it easier to defend open systems than to attack or control them.
Decentralized systems: building infrastructure without central chokepoints, so local actors can still function even when global consensus fails.
Democratic participation: giving more people agency in shaping and benefiting from progress, rather than concentrating power in the hands of a few.

We provide premium workspace for established and transitioning professionals working in AI safety and d/acc related fields. Our hub in central Cape Town is home to our research lab, residency programs, and community. The space lends itself to knowledge exchange and idea generation — you can apply to work from our offices, and we provide subsidised rates where needed.
