About

Negotiate the Future was founded in March 2026 to build a credible center of gravity for AI policy — one that is technically grounded, economically literate, and institutionally serious.

We aim to translate frontier capability into public benefit by pairing strategic development with distribution mechanisms, environmental accountability, and democratic governance.

We operate with a simple discipline: focus on what is true, what is material, and what is actionable. Many safety and consumer-protection issues are important, but they cannot become a substitute for addressing the larger structural shift underway — the rapid automation of work and the reallocation of value toward owners of capital, compute, and platforms.

The closed-source labs are at the cutting edge. Open-source labs are months behind. The private sector lags further still. Regulators are largely absent. Negotiate the Future exists to close that gap — by educating lawmakers, amplifying public voices, and building the institutional seriousness this moment demands.
