Measuring AI capabilities and risks.

Measuring AI Progress is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing AI safety research through rigorous evaluation and measurement.

Safe deployment and effective regulation of AI systems require an accurate understanding of their capabilities and risks. We develop tools, methodologies, and benchmarks to support researchers and policymakers in building that understanding.
