We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To ensure that the optimization power of large scale systems, such as AI, Markets, and Bureaucracies, advances the interests of humanity.

  • Talk to the City (T3C) is an open-source tool that helps large groups of people coordinate by understanding each other better. Its designed for public consultations, civic dialogue, and collaborative problem-solvingany situation where many voices need to be heard and turned into actionable insights. Unlike most AI tools, which summarize text but risk producing errors or hallucinations, T3C is built for trust, and structures the summarized public input so that every theme or idea is grounded directly in participant quotes. Its reports allow decision-makers to see broad themes, then drill down to the exact statements behind them. This design makes the analysis not only more reliable, but also auditableparticipants and stakeholders can check that their words are represented faithfully.

  • Research & Writing: The Institute conducts theoretical and academic research into the systems and paradigms used for the design, development, and use of AI technologies. Specifically, the institute seeks to understand how, when, why, and for what purposes an actor would employ AI technologies, and use this contextual understanding to develop technical and policy frameworks to guide the use of AI in a responsible and socially beneficial manner. Practically, the Institutes theoretical and academic research involves using Institute personnel or hired contractors to assess or analyze the applicability or use of AI technologies across disciplines such as economics, political science, sociology, and cognitive science, and to propose or consider frameworks for constructing, developing, or utilizing AI technologies for socially beneficial purposes. In most cases the work will result in a published white paper or academic article that analyzes the risks, incentives, and capabilities of AI technologies in the applicable context.

    Expenses $199,737

  • Moral Learning:Aligning technology to human objectives requires understanding those objectives, and the virtues and values behind them. Through this work, we hope to find answers to the questions of what it means for an AI to represent moral virtue and values, and what components are required to build such systems. The aim is both transparency (understanding what is represented in an LLM) and complementary tools (adding what is missing with an explicit reasoning layer), using cutting-edge computational approaches to social reasoning.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 9 November 2026 and read 9 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
