What is AISafety.info?

AISafety.info is a nonprofit AI safety FAQ website that explains why smarter-than-human AI may arrive soon, why it could pose an extinction risk, and what people can do about it. It is useful if you want a structured, plain-language introduction to AI safety arguments rather than a research paper or news feed. The site is founded by Rob Miles and maintained by a global team of specialists and volunteers, and it is an Ashgro Inc project, a 501(c)(3) public charity incorporated in Delaware.

What the site covers

The homepage frames the core claim directly: "Smarter-than-human AI may come soon. It could lead to human extinction." From there, the content is organized into a few layers so you can go as deep as you want.

• Basic sections — introductory material for readers new to the topic.
• Advanced sections — deeper arguments for people who already know the basics.
• Browse all articles — a full list of the FAQ entries.
• Browse by category — the same material grouped by theme.

The main argument threads highlighted on the homepage are:

• AI is advancing fast.
• AI may pursue goals.
• AI can win a conflict against us.
• Experts are highly concerned.

Each of these is a clickable entry point, so you can follow the reasoning in the order that interests you rather than reading linearly.

The chatbot: Stampy

The site offers an AI safety chatbot called Stampy that answers questions about AI safety. You can type a question into the prompt box and get a response.

One important caveat is stated on the site itself: "Stampy can be inaccurate. Always verify its sources." Treat it as a way to find leads and explanations, not as an authoritative final answer. If a claim matters to you, check the underlying article or source it points to.

When this site is the right starting point

AISafety.info fits well if you want a curated FAQ that moves from "why should I care" to "what are the actual arguments" without wading through academic papers. It is less suited if you need current news, policy specifics, or technical research results — the site is structured as an explainer resource, not a news outlet or paper repository. For open questions along the way, Stampy can help you navigate, as long as you verify what it tells you.
