• In the near term we are working on A.I. value alignment for NLP systems used in social media content ranking as well as in Natural Language Generation.

• We are closely aligned with the Effective Altruism movement and we are on-track to be the first company to legally adopt the Windfall Clause https://www.fhi.ox.ac.uk/windfall-clause/ which will legally mandate us to donate increasingly large parts of our profit to charity if or when we become very large.
