Research

AI Risk Research.

AI Risk Research is my independent AI risk observatory. It runs two public projects: a tracker of AI risk signals, each one linked to its sources, and Land Wars, a controlled territory game played by six AI models on an equal board.

It reports what the models say and the moves they make, without guessing at their motives.

Decoding projects

One read, one half read.

Old coded texts, worked through with AI. I set the aim, choose the targets and review the work; Claude does the hands-on work. Every step is recorded, including the mistakes.

Neither reading has been checked by a specialist yet. Corrections are welcome. More decoding projects are in progress. The project’s home page
