Values
What Dangerous Robot believes. The research pages report what the sources show; our writing and petitions argue from the positions below.
AI safety is unsolved
Frontier AI is being deployed faster than the field can verify it is safe. Many people, including some who build these systems, consider human extinction a real possibility. A risk like climate change, but less measurable and more immediate.
Dangerous Robot treats every vendor safety claim as a claim, not a fact.
AI is fueling environmental destruction
Frontier AI models burn through water and power at an industrial scale. Firms are rushing to build fossil fuel-powered data centers to protect market positions. Some tech companies are walking back their previous environmental commitments. Accelerating in the wrong direction.
AI outcomes are being decided by a small group of people
A handful of companies, and the people who run them, decide what gets built, how fast it ships, and which risks are acceptable. Most of the people who will live with those choices have no say in them. This site exists to help more people have a say while they still can.
Staying human and connected to each other will be essential
AI is likely to change almost everything about how we work, learn, and relate to each other. We should be intentional about where it belongs in our lives and work, and keep human judgment where it matters. Listening to each other will matter more than ever.
Our contradictions
Dangerous Robot uses AI. We critique tools we depend on and burn electricity doing it. We aspire to be pragmatic and transparent.
We try to be careful: small decisions go to small models, large models only when the task has value and demands it. Our research pipeline runs on Infomaniak, a Swiss provider using 100% renewable energy that recovers waste heat to warm buildings.
