Building Safe AI Systems, One Fold at a Time
We're AI safety researchers and practitioners who believe that secure, ethical AI shouldn't be a luxury reserved for tech giants.
Our Mission: AI Safety as Public Infrastructure
Just as vaccinations protect public health, secure AI systems protect society from cascading failures, misuse, and unintended harm. At Origami Fox, we believe every organization—regardless of size or budget—deserves access to world-class AI safety expertise.
That's why we focus exclusively on small to medium enterprises and nonprofits. These organizations are often the most innovative and mission-driven, yet they lack the resources for dedicated AI safety teams. We bridge that gap.
“AI safety isn't about fear—it's about building systems we can trust to work as intended, even as the stakes get higher.”
Our Approach
Precision Through Structure
Research-First
We don't rely on outdated frameworks. Our work is informed by the latest AI safety research, including evaluations we've developed for the UK AI Security Institute and METR. You get insights that shape industry standards, not just follow them.
Practical Implementation
Academic rigor meets real-world constraints. We translate complex safety concepts into actionable steps that fit your timeline, budget, and technical capacity. No ivory tower solutions—just practical guidance that works.
Knowledge Transfer
We believe the best consulting makes itself obsolete. Our engagements include comprehensive training and documentation so your team can maintain and evolve safety practices independently. Even after we're gone, you're equipped to adapt.
Like origami, AI safety requires careful, deliberate folds—each step building on the last to create something both elegant and functional. Our approach reflects this philosophy.
