AIR, Alignment Infrastructure Routes, is a public alignment infrastructure that routes AI-empowered work into shared governance outcomes. It is designed for uniform power distribution through open participation, shared protocols, and a unified scope across four domains: Economy, Employment, Education, and Ecology.

Project Details
Updated 08/02/26 · Edited by orgI am realizing my research on X-Risk by engineering infrastructure to connect AI safety labs worldwide with talent from all walks of life and backgrounds, allowing them to streamline HR and R&D Management Operations and amplify their impact through collaboration, not competition.
The highest risk from Transformative AI (TAI) is power concentration, and its effects escalate today, not only through technical loss-of-control failures, but most importantly through defective social governance structures. Whether these are inefficient and biased government protocols, or discriminatory business processes, human capacity must be empowered proactively to provide continuous oversight of AI systems.
I founded my lab during the Greek economic crisis, operating from a context of systemic constraint and real existential risk from misuse of power, shaping a research program over the past 8 years to build and democratize safety infrastructure. This funding will allow me to deliver an open-source, local-first app, connecting AI Safety Labs through a decentralized network, allowing them to scale talent and operations through shared, verifiable coordination standards that I have already developed.
While AIR is the deliverable infrastructure, it is based on a robust epistemic taxonomy of AI Safety risks which addresses explicitly x-Risk. It will also include a built-in Plan B economy that will initially be used as a verification system for alignment work, and over time is a long-term direction that could eventually support an alternative to today’s debt-based system with a physically abundant and verifiable capacity (the atomic time standard used for clocks and GPS).

Theory of Impact
Updated 08/03/26 · By grantmaking.aiThe core thesis is that x-risk from AI is not merely a technical capability problem, but a structural governance and economic failure. Specifically, it is the systemic displacement of human governance (treating AI outputs as if they were direct human authority and agency) sustained long enough that human capacity to recover control atrophies past a civilizational point of no return. THM, AIR, and the Moments Economy form a complete stack to prevent this: THM provides the diagnosis and rules, AIR provides the verifiable logistical infrastructure, and the Moments Economy flips the economic incentives from displacing humans to valuing human oversight.

Track Record
Aug 1 2026 - I finished its MVP as a production ready working prototype:
https://air.gyrogovernance.com/
Who it is for
AIR is for:
- Independent researchers and engineers, including misfits, generalists, and autodidacts
- Offices of Community Safety
- AI labs
- Funders and grantmakers who want legible, comparable, and scalable outputs
Core claim
Power concentration becomes high-risk when governance responsibilities are displaced by treating Authority and Agency as unique identities of a person or system, rather than as capacities that must remain properly related across people and machines and originate in human ancestry.
AIR operationalizes a correction by providing coordination infrastructure that keeps responsibility and safety framing consistent, without introducing credential gates.
How it works today
AIR has two operational surfaces:
- AIR website (static)
- Explains the framework and routes users to action.
- Displays AIR-Craft, the live index of public work.
Discussion
I keep working on improvements - launched as a quite BETA release (not promoted yet). https://air.gyrogovernance.com/
Everything is working, GitHub tailor made forms, discussions forum, Alignment work index (AIR-Craft). Fellowships are open, without admission waiting lists.
Most AI safety work treats the model as the object of concern. Capability, steering, interpretability, benchmarks leave humanity's biggest crises as a backdrop context. The result of this is that most work ends up complimenting long-horizons and AI producers than doing actual work on the real problems that escalate today globally.
AIR inverts that.
The object of concern is Community Safety and Good Governance across four lived crises. AI is the means of empowerment, not the destination. A contribution can start as an eval, a dataset, or a tool. What makes it AIR work is that it ends as skilled work aimed at supporting the resolution of poverty, unemployment, misinformation, or ecological degeneration.

Workflows
- Improved the Fellow workflow through Copy-Paste prompts and Guides. People without any background in AI Safety, can download AI Inspector Chrome Extension and start making evals or meta-evals in their favorite AI chat.
Please have a look, and I will be very happy to receive any questions or constructive feedback.

Check out the working prototype I just finished: https://air.gyrogovernance.com/
AIR aims to support the 99% of AI safety candidates who wish to build their portfolio and career in alignment and AGI safety, but existing labs often do not have the capacity to integrate. Built for misfits, generalists, autodidacts, and marginalized individuals who want to contribute to independent AI safety research and governance now.
I also created a Manifund submission: https://manifund.org/projects/air-mitigating-power-concentration-risks-through-human-capacity-development
