FAIR IALAB

Committed to advancing Frontier AI Safety by conducting high-impact research.


AI Safety as a Sociotechnical Challenge

We view AI Safety as a sociotechnical challenge: it requires the alignment of AI systems with human values and intentions through both technical innovation and a deep understanding of the social contexts in which these systems operate. Addressing AI risks involves more than just managing advanced capabilities; it necessitates careful consideration of how these technologies interact with human behaviors, social structures, cultural norms, and existing power dynamics.

What We Do

To Cultivate Local Talent

We focus on strengthening the local research ecosystem by nurturing emerging talent and providing the tools and support needed for career development in AI safety. This includes facilitating knowledge acquisition, creating meaningful opportunities, and improving accessibility, with the aim of fostering long-term growth and advancement within the community. Through these efforts, we contribute to the establishment and development of long-term AI safety in the region.

To Advance AI Safety Research

Our work advances frontier AI safety as a sociotechnical challenge by integrating multiple disciplines, including technical AI safety, cognitive science, law, and sociology. Through this interdisciplinary approach, we contribute to the development of safe and trustworthy AI systems while strengthening confidence in their behavior and robustness to support responsible deployment in society.

To Foster a Global Community

Given the global nature of AI risks, collaboration across borders and disciplines is essential. We actively engage with an international community of AI safety researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, contributing to an interdisciplinary network that spans academia, industry, and governance.
