The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk

The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) is a research organization at the University of Cambridge dedicated to understanding and managing global risks that could threaten humanity's future. These risks include advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and climate change, which, if misused or unmanaged, might cause widespread disaster or extinction. CSER brings together scientists, policymakers, and experts to study these hazards, develop strategies for safety, and ensure that technological progress benefits society without risking our survival. Its goal is to prevent or mitigate events that could have catastrophic consequences for humanity.
