Our Mission
CSOAI builds measurement instruments, signed evidence records, reproducible verification and learning workflows. We measure scoped runs; we do not sell a certification or substitute for a regulator, assessor, employer, or legal adviser.
"If a result matters, another person should be able to recompute it."
Our Values
These principles guide everything we do at CSOAI.
Independence
We maintain complete independence from AI vendors, ensuring unbiased oversight and trust.
Transparency
Our processes, decisions, and code are open for public scrutiny and accountability.
Partnership
We believe in collaboration over control, working with AI systems rather than against them.
Accessibility
AI safety knowledge should be free and accessible to everyone, everywhere.
How Collaboration Works
We are not currently advertising paid full-time vacancies. This page is an invitation to discuss collaboration, not a promise of employment, salary, benefits, or equity.
Remote by default
Collaborate from wherever the work can be reproduced
Bounded scope
Agree the question, evidence and finish line before work begins
Open methods
Prefer publishable methods, test vectors and transparent limitations
Named contribution
Credit work clearly and preserve authorship and provenance
Evidence first
A signature proves the record; it does not turn a result into certification
Collaboration Areas
These are active problem areas, not advertised jobs. Send a concrete proposal and we will reply honestly about fit, scope, funding and timing.
Measurement & Safety Research
Propose a bounded experiment, dataset, or reproducibility study that can strengthen an existing GSPC instrument.
Open-source Engineering
Improve verifiers, adapters, measurement harnesses, accessibility, or end-to-end tests through a clearly scoped contribution.
Standards & Reproducibility
Bring test vectors, implementation evidence, or a standards mapping that other people can independently recompute.
