What Constellation does
Constellation Institute is an independent, nonprofit research center in Berkeley, California focused on reducing catastrophic risks from transformative AI. Its stated approach is field-building: it develops talent, incubates new organizations, helps existing organizations scale, and convenes coordination across the AI safety ecosystem. The organization runs multiple fellowship and research-engagement programs (including the Astra Fellowship and a Visiting Fellowship), an incubator for early AI-safety organizations, and a Berkeley-based “Generator Residency” program for AI safety generalists. Constellation also supports research and publishes/curates technical and policy-relevant outputs via its research programs and convenings, including a recurring set of workshops/seminars and featured research areas. (Per its website, the Constellation research center is a project of Constellation Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.)
