About SASH

We are a research and field-building organisation, testing AI governance innovations and closing the field's biggest coordination gap.

Mission

Governing advanced AI will take technical solutions, policy judgement and above all: coordination across regions.

Rooted in Singapore, at the intersection of East and West, we build ecosystems and explore technical solutions that can mitigate risks from frontier AI.

Founded in 2024 as a physical hub in central Singapore we are now a global team spanning Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America.

Focus

01

Bridging Stakeholders

We bridge East and West and stakeholders across government, civil society and industry through convenings and collaborative projects.

02

Fostering Ecosystems

We act as a force-multiplier by developing talent, convening communities, and helping new organisations and capacity take root.

03

Turning research into practice

We tackle practical governance problems and ship proofs of concept beyond theory, giving the ecosystem something concrete to build on.

Team

SASH's team brings together a unique blend of policy, engineering and operations expertise. Based in Singapore, London and remotely around the world, we plug both into hyperlocal and international ecosystems.
