CERNAI’s research has direct implications for organisations developing, deploying, or regulating AI systems. We offer a limited number of structured engagements with industry, public institutions, and international organisations.
Executive training. Our intensive programme on normative foundations of AI governance is designed for professionals working in compliance, legal counsel, ethics, and technical leadership. The programme goes beyond standard AI Act training to address the deeper normative questions: what risk-based regulation can and cannot do, how to reason about agentic systems, and what meaningful human oversight requires in practice.
Research partnerships. We collaborate with organisations on specific normative and governance challenges arising from their use of AI. Engagements are jointly scoped, produce a research deliverable, and draw on CERNAI’s expertise in formal normative reasoning, AI safety, and regulatory analysis. We only take on projects where the question is genuinely interesting and the work advances both the partner’s objectives and CERNAI’s research programme.
Advisory affiliation. Affiliated organisations receive advance access to CERNAI’s policy briefs and reports, a seat at our annual Policy Dialogue, dedicated consultation hours with CERNAI researchers, and a private annual briefing on emerging normative issues in AI. Affiliation is suited to organisations that want an ongoing relationship with serious normative expertise.
All engagements are conducted under CERNAI’s academic independence. We do not provide legal advice, compliance certification, or audit services. Revenue from industry engagements supports CERNAI’s independent research programme and the training of junior researchers.
