Project Details

I resigned from IBM, where I was multi-agent GenAI consulting and development leader, in March 2025 over ethical concerns.

Since then, I have create the CIRIS framework. It is mainly documented at https://github.com/CIRISAI/CIRISConstitution/ where the evidence is linked in the responsible repositories.

Theory of Impact

https://ciris.ai/compare has the thesis. Most of the field is betting on being able to make an aligned model. The CIRIS bet is that is impossible by definition, and instead we need the infrastructure to track every claim, AI or human, as a relational attestation and evaluate appropriately. This, combined with the theory at https://ciris.ai/research-status that constrained reasoning chains allow for intra-chain of thought application of diverse constraints as demonstrated by the CIRIS agent allows for safe AI deployment today as defined at https://ciris.ai/safety/

We test in 29 languages in CI using a mental health battery you can review/comment on at https://ciris.ai/crowdsourcing-alignment

How the money will be spent

My mortgage and other living expenses so I can continue doing this work. The post quantum security key pairs alone cost me $800 to procure.
