Overview

Pivotal Research is a Swiss non-profit organization focused on understanding and reducing global catastrophic risks, especially those from advanced artificial intelligence and biotechnology. The organization conducts in-depth research, develops strategic initiatives, and offers policy recommendations to help policymakers, researchers, and international bodies mitigate potential threats. Its approach centers on international collaboration and translating findings into actionable insights for risk reduction. Revenue comes from grants, donations, and partnerships with other non-profit entities, rather than product sales. The goal is to make the world safer by informing decision-makers and guiding global risk management efforts to prevent or lessen large-scale harms.
