Institute for Human Futures.

CIF's research and advocacy arm, and the research institution inside the Center. Independent inquiry into the forces reshaping human life, published as instruments other people can pick up and use.

Research that ends in something usable.

Scorecards.

Assessments that let someone outside an institution measure it against a standard it did not set.

Playbooks.

Step-by-step material for people who have to act, not people who have to be persuaded.

Policy research.

Work aimed at the specific person who can change a rule, written so they can act on it without a translator.

AI Skepticism

The Institute's convening program. It brings together the people and institutions rethinking artificial intelligence and public life. Canada is Edition One.

Skepticism here is not opposition. It is the ordinary practice of asking an institution to show its work before granting it trust, applied to a technology that has mostly been exempted from it. CIF holds itself to the same test.
