The London Initiative for Safe AI

Our mission is to build the ecosystem needed to safely navigate transformative AI, by improving the capacity, capability and cooperation of the AI safety field. 


Who we are

LISA is an AI safety centre and ecosystem based in central London. We operate a world-class hub bringing together organisations, programmes, researchers and policymakers. We are backed by leading funders and led by a team combining deep AI safety expertise with operational experience.


Our approach

At the centre of everything is our London hub, designed for focused work, collaboration and community. It’s home to leading AI safety organisations, training programmes, independent researchers, and visiting experts - all working alongside each other in the heart of London’s AI corridor.

We provide a broad suite of services to improve the capacity, capability, and cooperation of the AI safety field.

Our work is organised around three pillars:

Mobilise talent

We help talented people find their way into high-impact AI safety work through programmes and fellowships.

Strengthen Organisations

We help AI safety organisations operate effectively and scale through workspace, strategic advisory and operational support.

Convene the Ecosystem

We bring together researchers, policymakers, frontier AI companies, and funders through community events, targeted convenings and communications.


Who we support

Our ecosystem brings together three groups, each playing a distinct role in making AI safer:

AI Safety Organisations

We host AI safety organisations in our London hub, providing workspace, professional infrastructure and strategic and operational advisory to help them grow and scale.
