The Alignment Research Center (ARC) is a non-profit AI alignment research organization founded by former OpenAI alignment lead Paul Christiano and headquartered in Berkeley, California. ARC conducts theoretical and applied research on AI alignment with the mission of ensuring that future advanced AI systems are aligned with human interests. The organization originally housed the influential ARC Evaluations team (which spun off as METR ) and continues research on heuristic arguments, mechanistic anomaly detection, eliciting latent knowledge, and theoretical alignment foundations. Paul Christianos research at ARC including the original ARC Theory work has been highly influential in shaping modern alignment research methodology and theoretical foundations.
