Support
Support independent, method driven research on advanced AI societal risk and the conditions for human continuity if prevention fails.
Status: Prio1 Foundation is a planned independent foundation. Until formal registration, activities are operated by Prio1 Ltd to publish materials and collect early funding for establishing the foundation.
Supporting Membership
USD 99 per year
Supporting Membership is live now. It funds the work immediately and helps Prio1 scale research and publishing capacity faster.
Supporting Membership is mission support, not a premium content subscription.
Prefer a one-time contribution?
If you want to support the work without membership or recurring payments, you can make a one-time contribution
Why support matters
This work is constrained mainly by time and capacity. More funding creates more research time, better publication output, and better transparency infrastructure.
We also treat timing as a practical issue. The window for effective slowing and early interventions may be shorter than many institutions assume. Funding earlier increases the probability that useful work is produced while that window still exists.
This is not a certainty claim. It is a practical response to uncertainty under time pressure.
What Supporting Membership funds
Your support is reserved for two purposes only:
Funding independent research and publication work
Establishing Prio1 Foundation as an independent foundation
We focus spending on:
research time and structured analysis
publication work and editorial capacity
methods and transparency workflows
community infrastructure and moderation standards
foundation setup work required for a transition from the current structure
Access timeline
Supporting Membership is active immediately after payment.
The private members area is under construction and opens when ready in March 2026. When it launches, your access activates automatically.
What members receive
Available now
Supporting member status immediately after payment
Member updates as work progresses
Priority notice when the Members Area launches
One member question per membership year, answered under a strict protocol (details below)
Available when the Members Area opens in March 2026
Members forum and structured discussion threads
Members library with working materials and background notes, to the extent they can be shared responsibly
Member update archive and research progress logs
A more organized workflow for member questions and optional publication of anonymized Q and A when permitted
One question protocol
Each supporting member can submit one question per membership year.
The protocol is intentionally strict:
The expert commits one hour total to produce the answer, using advanced AI tools as appropriate
Questions must relate to advanced AI societal risk, dependency and lock in, removability, agentic dynamics, coexistence conditions, or resilience
You choose whether the answer is private or publishable (anonymized)
If you permit publication, the goal is to build a public library of clearly scoped questions and method based responses
Openness and transparency
Prio1 intends to publish core research outputs openly.
Supporting members also receive access to additional working materials and background notes that inform the published work, to the extent they can be shared responsibly. Some materials may be limited when privacy, safety, or confidentiality constraints apply.
Funding commitment and structure
Prio1 Foundation is a planned independent foundation. Until formal registration, operations and payments are handled by Prio1 Ltd (Prio1 Oy, Finland).
All funds are reserved solely for establishing Prio1 Foundation and funding its research.
Prio1 Foundation will be established no later than when total funding reaches USD 100,000.
