The Last ControlIndependent shutdown for AI-controlled machines

About

They check the model. We govern the change.

An independent, non-profit research body working on the safety and governance of AI that controls physical machines.

PlaceholderAgreed positioning wording from the About spec, not final copy. Waiting on the final name, the entity and how it is funded.

We do not test robot models. Bodies such as the Physical AI Safety Institute ask whether a robot foundation model is safe: they probe it, benchmark it and find the ways it can be broken. Our question starts where theirs ends. A robot is approved once; then its model changes. We work on what happens after that: how conformity assessment survives a model update, how one model running on many bodies fails at fleet scale, and how fast machines are coming to build machines.

We are the customers and translators of technical safety work, turning findings into text that standards committees and regulators can adopt.

Robots are now certified once and then updated continuously; soon they will be built by other robots. We keep the public record of physical-AI incidents with a robot category and a model-version field together, build the indicators and thresholds that let regulators and standards bodies see the physical world the way they already see compute, and write the clauses they can adopt.

How we work

Published
Everything we hold is on this site.
The legislation map, the research directory and the incident record are the same dataset, shown three ways.
Source-linked
Every cell carries its source and the date it was checked.
Entries seen only in press are marked as reported, not read at source.
Small
Independent and non-profit.
Who we are, how we are set up and how we are funded: to follow once the entity exists.
