'Extreme Risk' can mean different things in different contexts. Find out exactly what we mean by it.

From search algorithms to self-driving cars, AI is starting to change our lives. As the impact of this technology magnifies, so will its risks.

Extreme risks from biotechnologies include engineered pandemics and, more broadly, biological weapons, which may seek to injure, kill or influence the behaviours of targeted populations.

Extreme risks from nuclear weapons include the potential for nuclear winter and nuclear famine, as well as possible knock-on events such as epidemics, civil and geopolitical conflict, and state collapse.

Driven by fossil fuel technologies, extreme risks from global heating range from its direct effects, such as food and water scarcity, to its indirect effects, such as undermining our ability to recover from other catastrophic events like nuclear war.

We have created a 'Book Guide' to collate a handful of books which provide a thorough introduction to some of our cause areas and the key ideas that underpin our work.

Our team will continue to expand in the coming months and years so check back regularly for new job postings, or submit a rolling application.

We are always excited to hear from potential collaborators, whether they be public figures, technical specialists, grassroots activists or artists.

By signing one of our open letters, you help us signal to policymakers and wider society that support exists for extreme risk reduction.

We’ve hardly made a dent in our list of project ideas. Donations enable us to grow as an organisation and execute more of our plans.

A public partnership helps draw media attention to our work, which can in turn grow our influence among policymakers and other key stakeholders.

Support us from behind the scenes by connecting us with individuals or organisations who might assist our work.

A short and sweet tweet about our activities can open doors for us even if it comes without an explicit endorsement of our work.
