LawZero is thrilled to announce a monumental milestone in our journey toward safer, more ethically designed artificial intelligence. Today, we are proud to share that we have successfully raised $30,000,000 in a funding round that underscores our community’s and stakeholders’ trust in our mission. As a nonprofit organization committed to advancing research and developing technical solutions for safe-by-design AI systems, LawZero is laser-focused on creating technologies that foster human flourishing, ensuring that AI benefits society as a global public good. Our scientific direction, led by the esteemed Professor Yoshua Bengio—recognized as the most cited AI researcher in the world—stands at the forefront of groundbreaking research and innovative methodology.
The financial infusion will be strategically invested to accelerate the development of non-agentic AI systems, which are designed to support scientific discovery and provide robust oversight for agentic systems, thereby mitigating potential risks associated with autonomous AI. Our dedicated team, based in Montréal, is eager to harness this funding to undertake new projects and expand existing ones, enriching our capabilities to rigorously assess AI risks and explore proactive avenues for risk avoidance. This investment not only fortifies our current research pipeline but also paves the way for pioneering initiatives aimed at ensuring that advancements in artificial intelligence proceed in a safe and responsible manner. With our roots firmly planted in the belief that AI should be designed and deployed as a safeguard for societal progress, LawZero is more energized than ever to contribute to a future where technology aligns seamlessly with the imperatives of ethical human advancement.
