Existential Risk Alliance Information

ERA is a non-profit research organisation which runs multiple talent programme for researchers and entrepreneurs to understand and mitigate risks from frontier AI, based at Cambridge, UK. Through the Cambridge ERA:AI Fellowship, we identify and support talented researchers and entrepreneurs, providing them with targeted mentorship, research management support, and institutional connections to drive tangible progress on important AI safety and governance challenges. With a distinctive focus on technical AI governance, we facilitate high-impact collaborations where they are most urgently needed. Our alumni now lead work at RAND, the UK AI Security Institute, and other key institutions actively shaping the future of AI. Beyond our fellowship programmes, we are cultivating a robust research ecosystem and infrastructure to ensure that advanced AI systems remain safe, beneficial, and aligned with humanity’s best interests. Some of our current initiatives include the AIxBiosecurity Fellowship, Frontier AI Security Residency, the Technical AI Governance Forum series and more.
