Who are we?
Technology keeps learning faster than we do. Every upgrade promises efficiency, yet the question of alignment between our systems and our values grows more urgent. The Alignment Institute was created to hold that question open. We write and think about artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and the moral architecture that underpins technological progress. Our goal isn’t to slow innovation, but to ensure it doesn’t outrun the human spirit. We believe reflection is a form of resistance. In a culture obsessed with speed, we choose deliberation. Our work examines how intelligence, whether synthetic or biological, can be guided toward empathy, fairness, and purpose.
Our purpose
To explore and document how technology reshapes human identity, agency, and ethics. To ask what progress means, and who it serves. To keep sight of what’s worth preserving as we build what comes next.
Our Method
We publish essays, editorials, and reflections that approach technology as a moral subject, not just a mechanical one. Each piece aims to connect theory to experience—to bridge the gap between philosophical abstraction and lived consequence.
Why We Exist
Because technology isn’t neutral, and because the pace of innovation demands an equal measure of reflection. The Alignment Institute is a reminder that progress means nothing if it forgets what it’s improving.
