Organization and goals
The Center on Long-Term Risk (CLR) is a charity located in London, United Kingdom, registered in England and Wales (charity no. 1195079) and governed by our constitution. Our trustees are Max Daniel, Stefan Torges, Linh Chi Nguyen, Tobias Baumann, Mia Taylor and Jesse Clifton.
CLR's purposes according to our constitution are:
1. the advancement of education, primarily in the field of emerging technologies (such as artificial intelligence), in particular (but not exclusively) by conducting the following activities in order to contribute to better public understanding of the potential benefits and risks of such technologies:
(a) conducting research into emerging technologies and publishing the useful results thereof to the general public;
(b) supporting individuals and organisations to carry out research into emerging technologies, through providing grants and other forms of support;
(c) hosting events such as conferences, research retreats, and workshops; to promote recent developments in, and to stimulate discussion and exchange of information about, emerging technologies; and
(d) providing coaching, mentoring and scholarships to those interested in learning about emerging technologies; and
2. to advance such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law in England and Wales as the trustees may from time to time determine, in particular (but not exclusively) by grantmaking.
CLR was initially founded as a project of the Swiss charity Effective Altruism Foundation (EAF). However, our operations were transferred to an independent UK charity, the Center on Long-Term Risk, at the end of 2021. Documentation below relating to 2021 and earlier therefore relates to activities carried out as part of EAF, which ceased operations in 2025.
Our funding comes from individual donors and from institutional donors including Macroscopic Ventures, Open Philanthropy, the Survival and Flourishing Fund, and Community Foundation Ireland.
