Our Charter

Zenno was founded as an AI research and product company. Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—AI systems that are generally smarter than humans—benefits all of humanity. This charter outlines the principles that guide us as we work towards our mission.

1. Broadly Distributed Benefits

We commit to ensuring that the benefits of AGI are shared as widely and equitably as possible. We will not use our technology to concentrate power or wealth in a way that harms society. We will actively work to deploy AGI in ways that empower individuals and address major global challenges.

2. Long-term Safety

We are committed to doing the research and engineering required to make AGI safe. We will work to mitigate both short-term risks, such as bias and misuse, and long-term risks associated with highly capable AI systems. Safety will always be our primary concern, superseding other commercial interests.

3. Technical Leadership

We aim to be at the forefront of AI research. We believe that leading in the technical domain is crucial for us to have a positive influence on the development of AGI. We will invest in fundamental research and collaborate with the broader academic and research communities.

4. Cooperative Orientation

We recognize that the development of AGI is a global endeavor. We will collaborate with other research institutions, companies, and governments to establish best practices and promote a global conversation about the future of AI. We are committed to being a trusted partner in the AI ecosystem.
