LEGAL PRIORITIES

Our mission is to conduct and support strategic legal research that mitigates existential risk and promotes the flourishing of future generations... Our primary goal is to conduct strategic research that can be used by legal actors-for example, policy-makers, judges, and litigators-working on the world's most pressing problems. Our research focuses on mitigating existential risk and promoting the flourishing of future generations... We aim to establish "legal priorities research" as a new research field. We currently focus on four cause areas: law and governance of advanced artificial intelligence, biosecurity & pandemic preparedness, institutional design, and meta-research. Our research is influenced by the principles of effective altruism and the longtermism paradigm.
