The Steingrimsson Foundation is a pioneering non-profit organization founded by the AI researcher Hedinn Steingrimsson. With a passion for contributing to a positive impact of AI on society we contribute to both safe human aligned model development and practical applications that have the goal to achieve human-AI alignment though the use of AI for supporting and lifting up people.
Our studies show that with our AI empowered learning platform we are on the right track in terms of offering enjoyable learning to everyone, see user experiments.
Our overall goal is to contribute to AI being beneficial to society enable everyone to use AI and raise awareness of ethical AI.
We prioritize safety, positive human experiences and mental well being. Our theoretical work also contributes to safer AI with the motto correlation is not causation and the development of improved state of the art AI systems in ways that are transparent and understandable to humans, see scientific publications.
Hedinn Steingrimsson is an AI researcher and philantropist. One of the pioneering aspects of the Steingrimsson Foundation is the use of chess for advancing safe AI and human-AI aligned AI model development, see /publications/ and /user experiments/. Hedinn has a background in chess, is a former U12 World Champion, a Grandmaster and holds the highest possible chess trainer degrees from both the International Chess Federation FIDE - FIDE Senior Trainer and also the German Chess Federation - German A-Trainer.
We envision a future where AI is aligned with human goals and ethical values and leads to an improvement of society.
Where AI enables and empowers humans and enhances human capabilities through AI enabled training and human-AI collaboration and support.
We strive for inclusive AI, were no one is left out from benefitting from technological advancements in their professional and private lives and were AI training is accessible to everyone. We also serve to enable everyone to have solid foundations in ethical AI, enabling everyone to actively participating in shaping the rules that society sets for AI with the purpose of AI having a positive impact on humanity.
We also work towards a safe and reliable AI, emphasizing that correlation is not causation, increasing trust in AI and enabling a more reliable and trustworthy AI assistance and empowerment. In our vision the human plays a central role, with AI lifting up people. We also promote the game of chess and develop chess training through novel and original ways of presenting chess as a research tool for both human-AI alignment in AI and also for safe AI research. I shed a light on the differences and similarities of human and artificial chess intelligence.
We elevate chess as a domain for cognitive development and take the next step on the successful path of chess as a research domain for AI.
With our novel AI powered learning platform and our course on AI we offer concrete solutions that pursue these goals.
Out training also provides solid foundations in ethical AI, enabling everyone to discuss the future of AI and which boundaries society should set AI. We also develop solutions for human-AI teaming.
Our educational solution and AI enabled learning platform has received positive reactions from over 600 users, who report that their emotional state was more positive after learning sessions than before and that their interest rose in engaging in similar learning experiences, see user studies. We are working on taking the next step, promoting inclusivity in AI where AI education and AI technology is accessible to everyone. By promoting inclusivity in AI, we aim to create a positive impact on society and empower individuals with the knowledge and tools to leverage AI in their personal and professional lives.
We raise interest in chess as an AI research theme. We build novel AI enabled chess training tools that have roots in research on human-AI alignment - such as human-AI teaming and AI empowerment of humans. We carry out safe AI chess research with the motto correlation is not causation.
The Steingrimsson Foundation contributes to making AI beneficial for society. We contribute to safe AI and also to making AI training and empowerment available for everyone. We leverage our expertise in safe AI, human-AI teaming and AI enabled learning to address emerging risks of AI to the welfare of society and individual citizens. Our research enhances AI safety through improved System 2 capabilities, focusing on human-AI alignment and the development of AI-supported human learning. Our work includes exploring machine learning (ML) system behaviors, improving training processes, evaluating alignment algorithms, and conducting user experiments.
The Steingrimsson Foundation offers personalized AI enabled training. Our user studies indicate that we on the right track in terms of developing enjoyable learning experiences that learners want to repeat, see user experiments. With a focus on human-AI alignment, we equip AI with the ability to reason and communicate in ways that best support human learning and joint human-AI team work. We build a mental model of each learner with the goal to provide the best support and learning experiences. Our AI systems coordinate their behavior with the interest and goals of their human partner(s). We build AI systems that can explain what they are doing and why fostering transparency and trust.
The Steingrimsson Foundation team consists of multidisciplinary experts with research and development background in AI, human cognition, education and software engineering related fields. We work on the cutting edge of SOTA technology. We have offered internships to aspiring researchers in the field of AI and AI enabled software engineering. In our multidisciplinary approach we solve real world challenges in safe human aligned AI with input from Computer Science, Engineering, Educational Sciences and Psychology.
