About The Dark Dimensions of AI

Learn about our comprehensive research project exploring the risks, harms, and dark dimensions of artificial intelligence across military, surveillance, labor, environmental, and societal domains.

Our Mission

The Dark Dimensions of AI is a comprehensive research project dedicated to documenting and analyzing the risks, harms, and systemic dangers of artificial intelligence. While much attention focuses on AI's promises, this project provides a critical examination of the negative impacts that are often overlooked or dismissed.

Our research spans twelve critical dimensions where AI poses serious threats to human rights, democracy, labor rights, environmental sustainability, and human agency itself.

Research Approach

  • Academic papers on AI risks and capabilities
  • Investigative journalism on AI industry practices
  • Government reports and policy documents
  • Corporate filings and transparency reports
  • Court cases and legal proceedings
  • Whistleblower disclosures and leaked documents
  • Nonprofit research on AI governance and ethics
  • Industry technical papers and model documentation
