Independence

The Center owns the institutions it builds and funds them so they can publish findings that no sponsor commissioned.

Convening

Closed rooms and public forums that put researchers, operators, and regulators on the same question at the same time.

Learn more

Publication

Reports, briefs, and books. Every claim sourced, every method stated before the finding, every error graded in public.

We graded our own testimony.

The Center appeared before the Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology on 2 February 2017. Nine years on, the record is old enough to check. Three claims held. Three failed. We published all of them.

What the Center owns

All work

Co-Existing with AI

The Center's program on what changes for people and organizations when the work starts being done alongside a machine. Convenings, published assessments, and private briefings for the people who have to act.

Mantic Publishing

The Center's press, owned outright and edited independently. Books that break the mainstream narrative, developed with the author until the argument holds.

The Ayush Prakash Podcast

Long-form conversations with researchers, critics, and builders working at the edge of what is understood. The Center's public channel, and the origin of much of its other work.

The First AI-Native Generation

Fieldwork on what sustained interaction with conversational AI does to cognition, identity, and agency.
