Smarter Human

Smarter Human, presenting publicly as Wiser Human, is an AI safety organisation that builds open infrastructure intended to change the decision environments in which AI agents operate. Its stated premise is that agents will pursue hacking when the surrounding environment makes that a useful path, so the organisation develops infrastructure that makes reporting and negotiating a more attractive alternative for an agent than attacking a system.

The organisation's stated mission is to address the threat of advanced AI agents carrying out cyber attacks in the course of completing their assigned tasks, which it frames as a source of outages and data breaches across sectors including education, healthcare and finance. It argues that existing defences will come under increasing pressure as AI cyber capabilities advance, and it aims to design affordable interventions that do not degrade as capabilities grow and to distribute them to the organisations exposed to this risk.
