Our Approach

Value pluralism presents a critical challenge for AI alignment. Current methods handle simple safety standards but fail when AI must navigate contestable domains with no objectively correct resolution.

Our Home

Based in Amsterdam, we're a Dutch foundation with a global perspective, committed to bringing diverse voices into the AI value conversation.

Research Focus

AI systems that respect diverse value perspectives in complex scenarios

Value Pluralism

Developing AI systems that navigate competing values and acknowledge multiple valid perspectives without imposing singular hierarchies.

Contextual Ethics

Building AI systems that adapt ethical decision-making to cultural, social, and situational contexts.

Value Prioritization

Creating transparent methodologies for AI reasoning through complex alignment dilemmas and inherent tradeoffs.

Alignment Complexity

Developing frameworks for AI operation in morally complex environments where simple optimization proves insufficient.
