About the Council

About ICHAI

The International Council for Human-Aligned Intelligence was established in recognition of a growing global need for neutral, cross-disciplinary oversight of how intelligent systems interact with human cognition.

While technological innovation continues to advance rapidly, questions of alignment with human values, autonomy, and cognitive integrity require careful, non-partisan consideration.

ICHAI was created to help meet this need.
