The Partnership
for Research Into Sentient Machines
Promoting responsible research into AI consciousness
Our Mission
Foster global collaboration on AI consciousness
Build a coalition of global partners from academia, industry, and government to ensure a coordinated approach to understanding consciousness in AI.
Promote safe and aligned AI development
Advocate for the development of AI technologies that prioritize human safety, ethical alignment, and adherence to societal values.

Get involved
Open letter
It is possible that in the coming years or decades, AI researchers will develop machines which experience consciousness. This will raise many ethical questions. Conscium has worked with Patrick Butlin of Oxford University to draw up five principles to guide any organisation engaged in research that could lead to the creation of conscious machines. If you agree with them, we invite you to sign the open letter.
AI-UK Workshop
Meet our team at AI-UK in London (17-18 March 2025). We will be running a workshop “The Path to Responsible Conscious AI,” on the 17th March.
