The Partnership for Research Into Sentient Machines is a limited company established in Leicester, UK, focusing on independent research into the potential emergence of sentient artificial intelligence. Founded in May 2013 and currently active, the organization’s core objective is to explore and understand the characteristics – and potential risks – associated with increasingly complex AI systems. The Partnership operates as a consultancy providing strategic guidance and collaborative research across various fields including cognitive science, neuroscience, philosophy of technology, and computer security. The company specializes in investigating concepts related to consciousness, self-awareness, and moral agency within artificial intelligence. Its research efforts are driven by the belief that proactive investigation is crucial for mitigating potential negative impacts arising from advanced AI development. The Partnership’s international presence includes engagement with researchers and experts globally. While currently employing a relatively small team, the organization actively seeks collaborative partnerships to expand its scope of inquiry. The company's SIC codes encompass management consultancy activities other than financial management and related fields such as data science, artificial intelligence ethics, and human-computer interaction.
