AUGUR

Foresight and strategy across the frontier AI supply chain.

We monitor and forecast changes in the hardware and software supply chains that underpin state-of-the-art AI development, explore design options for highly strategic AI use cases, and analyze the current state of control and ownership over key AI development assets. In our work, we pursue democratic leadership across supply chains and the right to self-determination.

You can find our public work here, including our recent study on ownership across the AI supply chain.

We are growing our team. New openings will be posted here.

Deliberate strategy for an uncertain time.

  • Monitoring and analyzing the hardware and software supply chains for frontier AI model development, quantum computing, and other emerging technologies
  • Analyzing future trajectories in technology development and their implications for governance, the economy, or international security
  • Policy recommendations and consultation related to security risk mitigation
  • Understanding control and ownership over AI systems and other key assets
  • Exploring proof-of-concept design related to highly strategic use-cases
