About Constellation
Constellation is an independent research center that brings together people throughout the AI safety ecosystem to accelerate insight research and talent through better cooperation. Unlike a conference or summit Constellation operates continuously in the form of a physical workspace as well as conferencestyle talks workshops and training bootcamps. Continuous operation allows for relationships and conversations to develop over time meaningfully fostering trust collaboration and shared insight. It also makes Constellation a natural fieldbuilding hub by rapidly inspiring orienting and connecting people who are newer to the field.
Based in Berkeley CA our shared workspace hosts over 100 people per week across dozens of AI safety organizations in nonprofits academia industry and government. Hundreds of other researchers spend time at Constellation for shorter visits each year. We believe this is the strongest and highestoutput network of AI safety researchers in the world; dozens of participants in past Constellation programs have gone on to safetyfocused roles at companies such as METR Redwood Research Anthropic Google DeepMind OpenAI and the US and UK Safety Institutes.
For more information see our research focus areas and selected publications from Constellation fellows.

Community Programs increase the amount or quality of network engagement by improving the mediums of interaction. Examples include network culture design of the physical workspace workspace meals and the Constellation Slack.
Applied Programs actively leverage the Constellation network to achieve specific missionstrategic goals. Applied programs often take the forms of events (talks workshops training bootcamps and so on) but may include other avenues of catalyzing cooperation toward specific goals.
