The Future Society (TFS) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to align artificial intelligence through better governance. Founded in the fall of 2014 as a student club at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government by Nicolas Miailhe, Simon Mueller, Ionuts Lacusta, and Hugo Zylberberg, TFS was formally incorporated as a U.S. nonprofit in the summer of 2016.
The organization develops, advocates for, and facilitates the implementation of AI governance mechanisms, ranging from laws and regulations to voluntary frameworks such as global principles, norms, standards, and corporate policies. TFS has engaged over 8,000 senior decision-makers including legislators, industry representatives, academics, civil society advocates, and regulators, as well as over 30,000 individuals worldwide. The organization works with over 60 institutional partners, including the OECD, UNESCO, Harvard Kennedy School, the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, the Global Partnership on AI, and the Future of Life Institute…
TFS believes that well-designed AI governance is fundamental for ensuring that increasingly powerful AI systems serve humanity rather than threaten it. Their theory of change operates through three pathways: (1) conducting rigorous policy research to provide evidence-based analysis of AI risks and governance options, (2) advising and advocating directly with decision-makers in governments, intergovernmental organizations, and standard-setting bodies to shape laws, regulations, and voluntary frameworks, and (3) convening multi-stakeholder dialogues that build shared understanding and consensus among policymakers, industry, civil society, and academics. By shaping the rules and norms governing AI development at the European, U.S., and global levels, TFS aims to create institutional safeguards that reduce catastrophic and existential risks from powerful AI while enabling beneficial innovation.
