The Long Range Foundation

projectMAI

Machine Augmented Intelligence for long-range public benefit.

A practical initiative to help people and organisations use intelligent systems as amplifiers for learning, research, creativity, planning, and complex problem solving.

MAI Human judgment + machine capability

About

Augmenting people, not replacing them.

projectMAI sits within the LRF view that large-scale STEAM projects can create durable benefits for humanity. Its focus is Machine Augmented Intelligence: systems that extend human capability while keeping purpose, responsibility, and judgement with people.

The work starts with clear public-benefit use cases, small demonstrators, open collaboration, and governance strong enough for a technology that will shape research, education, institutions, and daily life.

Pathways

Where projectMAI can create value.

Human Augmentation

Research and tools that help people reason, create, learn, and make better decisions with machine support.

Open Knowledge

Public-benefit systems that make hard-won understanding easier to preserve, query, and improve over time.

STEAM Alignment

Practical collaboration across science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths for long-range outcomes.

Current Work

A foundation for a serious long-range programme.

01

Define projectMAI as a public-interest Machine Augmented Intelligence programme.

02

Build demonstrators that show how augmented intelligence can support education, research, and civic planning.

03

Create governance and funding pathways consistent with the Long Range Foundation mission.

04

Invite collaborators who can contribute research, engineering, design, policy, ethics, and outreach.
