Convergence Analysis
Convergence exists to develop better knowledge on how to create a thriving future for humanity. The development of advanced technologies poses both great opportunities and perils for humanity, as exemplified by nuclear technology, bioengineering, and Artificial Intelligence. Convergence's strategy is to understand how advanced technologies could cause risks to civilization, and discover and promote methods to reduce these risks. Its core activity is to build stronger theoretical foundations for existential risk reduction through interdisciplinary basic research. You could call this type of research strategy research. We take a technical and systematizing approach to strategy research. Our research draws upon insights and methods from philosophy, computer science, mathematics, sociology, cognitive science, psychology, and AI.
