Research and coordination

Defending human systems against autonomous threats.

Our goal is to bring volunteers together to understand threats from AI agents and autonomous systems. Defense Command teams take ownership of threats and choose how to develop defenses through their own sub-projects.

An early volunteer-led project with a long-term mission. Identifying a threat does not mean a team is actively working on it.

From threat to ownership

The main project organizes responsibility. Internal teams decide how to develop defenses and revisit the evidence.
