Loading the field...
We sort organizations into three groups by what they are trying to do: prevent or prohibit ASI, govern or evaluate the race, or build more capable systems.
That number is who qualifies on this board under a strict bar. It is not a claim that only 7 groups on Earth work on the risk.
Prevent is reserved for standing main organizations whose primary public ask is to stop, pause, ban, prohibit, or put a moratorium on frontier or superintelligent AI. Most of the field writes rules, runs tests, funds research, or builds systems while the race continues. Those sit in Govern or Build. Endorse a pause once and you still do not land here if your brand is something else.
Prevent / prohibit means a hard stop, ban, or treaty to forbid artificial superintelligence. Build / race means frontier labs racing toward more capable general systems. Govern / delay / evaluate means rules, tests, funds, research, and process while development continues.

They do real work. Their primary public ask is not a ban or prohibition on artificial superintelligence.
Encode campaigns for frontier safety bills. CAIS runs research and field-building. Policy shops that push stronger rules, or sometimes endorse a pause, still sit in Govern when stop-ASI is not the brand on the front door. Padding Prevent with every safety-adjacent shop would hide the point of the thin column.
Organizations only. Not people, podcasts, one-off campaign pages, city chapters, accelerators that belong under a parent, or defunct groups.
PauseAI national chapters roll up to PauseAI. An FLI accelerator does not get a separate tile from FLI. The board is a census of main actors by trajectory, not every satellite and sub-brand.
We open the organization's own site and look for stop, pause, ban, prohibit, or moratorium language as the main ask. Third-party blurbs and category tags are not enough.
ControlAI is the textbook case. The name and some blurbs say “control,” but the homepage asks to prohibit the development of superintelligent AI, so it sits in Prevent. If a standing org clears that bar and is missing, tell us.
Most of the field manages the race or runs it. Almost none of the money or headcount goes to stopping artificial superintelligence. The Foundation exists to grow that thin bench.
