About METR
We are a nonprofit research organization that develops scientific methods to assess AI capabilities, risks and mitigations, with a specific focus on threats related to autonomy, AI R&D automation, and alignment. Our work advances the science of AI measurement by understanding frontier AI systems' ability to complete complex tasks without human input, and directly executing those measurements to inform risk assessments and consensus within the AI industry, among policymakers, and the public. Our work has been cited by NIST, a previous US President, the UK Government, Nature, The New York Times, and Time Magazine. Through our work with leading AI labs, governments, and academia, we ensure that our insights can quickly be leveraged to promote the safe development of increasingly powerful AI systems. We believe it is robustly good for civilization to have a clear understanding of what types of danger AI systems pose and how high the risk is, and we are extremely excited to find ambitious, excellent people to join our team and tackle one of the most important challenges of our time.
