Help keep humanity in charge of AI development

Your donation funds independent research into AI alignment, safety evaluation, and governance — work that is essential but rarely profitable. COAI Research is a registered German non-profit (gemeinnützige GmbH), and your donation is fully tax-deductible.

2026 Funding Progress

Your donation powers research across all four pillars of COAI — alignment, safety evaluation, governance, and public engagement. Our 2026 goal is to fund two PhD positions (€90,000 each) and €30,000 for yearly operations. Each position gives a young researcher the opportunity to dedicate their career to work that matters for all of us — shaping a future where AI serves society.

Yearly operations (€30k)

PhD student 1 (€90k)

PhD student 2 (€90k)
