# PRISM (Partnership for Research Into Sentient Machines) **Entity class:** Charitable organization and field-building institution **Aliases:** Partnership for Research Into Sentient Machines; PRISM Global; PRISM **Legal form:** [[wiki/Charitable Incorporated Organisation|Charitable Incorporated Organisation]] **Charity number:** 1184317 **Collections:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] · [[collections/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Canonical source article:** [[articles/Host-Indexed Autonomy|Host-Indexed Autonomy]] **Resolved name forms:** [[wiki/PRISM (Partnership for Research Into Sentient Machines)|PRISM Global]] · [[wiki/PRISM (Partnership for Research Into Sentient Machines)|PRISM (Digital Minds Organization)]] · [[wiki/Economic Singularity Foundation|ESF]] · [[wiki/Ed Charvet|Edward Charvet]] · [[wiki/AI UK 2025|AI UK]] · [[wiki/Artificial Consciousness|AI Sentience]] · [[wiki/Artificial Consciousness|Conscious AI]] · [[wiki/Artificial Consciousness|Digital Consciousness]] · [[wiki/Rethink Priorities|AI Cognition]] · [[wiki/Rethink Priorities|AI Cognition Initiative]] · [[wiki/Higher-Order Theories of Consciousness|Higher-Order Theory]] ## Definition **PRISM**, the **Partnership for Research Into Sentient Machines**, is a United Kingdom charity that describes itself as helping to build the field of [[wiki/Digital Minds|digital minds]]. It supports research and education concerning [[wiki/Artificial Consciousness|artificial consciousness]], [[wiki/Machine Consciousness|machine consciousness]], [[wiki/AI Moral Status|AI moral status]], and [[wiki/AI Welfare|AI welfare]]. Its public work combines talent development, convening, educational resources, expert workshops, fellowships, a newsletter, and the [[wiki/Exploring Machine Consciousness|Exploring Machine Consciousness]] podcast. PRISM is field-building infrastructure, not evidence that present AI systems are conscious. It does not resolve disputes among consciousness theories and should not be treated as endorsing every institution or theory represented in its field map or advisory network. ## Legal and institutional chronology - **8 July 2019 — legal origin:** the Charity Commission records charity 1184317 as a CIO. Its previous name was [[wiki/Economic Singularity Foundation|The Economic Singularity Foundation]], with ESF and PRISM recorded as working names. - **17 March 2025 — public PRISM launch:** PRISM's public identity launched around **The Path to Responsible Conscious AI**, a workshop at [[wiki/AI UK 2025|AI UK 2025]], the national showcase hosted by [[wiki/The Alan Turing Institute|The Alan Turing Institute]]. - **2025–2026 — field-building expansion:** PRISM developed public guides, workshops, a podcast, the [[wiki/Digital Minds Fellowship|Digital Minds Fellowship]], and the [[wiki/AI Sentience Scholars|AI Sentience Scholars]] partnership. The 2019 registration date and the 2025 PRISM launch date describe different events. The change from an economic-singularity organization to a digital-minds organization is a legal and programmatic lineage, not merely a thematic resemblance. ## Governance and operating team The Charity Commission currently lists [[wiki/Calum Chace|Calum Chace]] as chair and [[wiki/Radhika Chadwick|Radhika Chadwick]] and [[wiki/Ed Charvet|Edward "Ed" Charvet]] as trustees, all appointed on 8 July 2019. PRISM's public site identifies Chadwick as non-executive chair and [[wiki/Will Millership|Will Millership]] as chief executive. The current public operating team also names [[wiki/Mitch Alexander|Mitch Alexander]] for special projects, [[wiki/Guney Ulas Turker|Güney Ulaş Türker]] for field building, and [[wiki/Ria Viswanathan|Ria Viswanathan]] for field building and research. ## Formal institutional relationships ### Founding support and personnel overlap [[wiki/Conscium|Conscium]] publicly describes itself as having launched PRISM and states that it supplied PRISM's initial funding. PRISM has also credited Conscium's team with seed funding for its first year. [[wiki/Calum Chace|Calum Chace]], [[wiki/Daniel Hulme|Daniel Hulme]], and [[wiki/Ed Charvet|Ed Charvet]] are named across this founding-support network. Conscium and PRISM remain separate entities: Conscium is a commercial research organization, while PRISM is a charity and field builder. Funding, launch support, and personnel overlap do not establish ownership or organizational identity. ### Digital Minds Fellowship The [[wiki/Digital Minds Fellowship|Digital Minds Fellowship]] is organized by [[wiki/Cambridge Digital Minds|Cambridge Digital Minds]] in partnership with [[wiki/Rethink Priorities|Rethink Priorities]] and PRISM. Cambridge Digital Minds is housed within the [[wiki/Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence|Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence]] at the [[wiki/Institute for Technology and Humanity|Institute for Technology and Humanity]], [[wiki/University of Cambridge|University of Cambridge]]. ### AI Sentience Scholars The 2026 [[wiki/AI Sentience Scholars|AI Sentience Scholars]] program is operated by [[wiki/Neuromatch|Neuromatch]], funded by [[wiki/Longview Philanthropy|Longview Philanthropy]], and developed with the [[wiki/Institute of Neuroethics|Institute of Neuroethics]], PRISM, and Cambridge Digital Minds. Its research-training network connects to the [[wiki/CIFAR Brain, Mind and Consciousness|CIFAR Brain, Mind & Consciousness]] program through the cohort's planned winter-school convening. ### Digital Consciousness Model PRISM has hosted researchers from Rethink Priorities discussing the [[wiki/Digital Consciousness Model|Digital Consciousness Model]]. The model aggregates heterogeneous evidence probabilistically across multiple theoretical stances and indicators. Hosting a presentation and collaborating on a fellowship are distinct predicates; neither makes PRISM the model's developer. ### Responsible AI-consciousness research [[wiki/Conscium|Conscium]] worked with [[wiki/Patrick Butlin|Patrick Butlin]] on the [[wiki/Principles for Responsible AI Consciousness Research|Principles for Responsible AI Consciousness Research]]. Butlin, [[wiki/Robert Long|Robert Long]], and a large interdisciplinary group also developed theory-derived indicators in **Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousness**. These frameworks inform PRISM's research neighborhood without making PRISM their sole author or owner. ### Other named collaborators PRISM's current site lists [[wiki/Future Impact Group|Future Impact Group]], Cambridge Digital Minds, Neuromatch, and Rethink Priorities as collaborators. The wording here follows PRISM's own public collaborator list and does not extend formal partnership status beyond the named records. ## Advisory network PRISM's current public advisory network includes: - [[wiki/Heather Alexander|Heather Alexander]] — [[wiki/Lab for the Future of Citizenship|Lab for the Future of Citizenship]]; law, citizenship, and personhood. - [[wiki/Cameron Berg|Cameron Berg]] — [[wiki/Reciprocal Research|Reciprocal Research]]; empirical and reciprocal AI ethics. - [[wiki/Calum Chace|Calum Chace]] — [[wiki/Conscium|Conscium]]; economic singularity and machine-consciousness institution building. - [[wiki/Radhika Chadwick|Radhika Chadwick]] — [[wiki/Niscai|Niscai]]; AI transformation and governance. - [[wiki/Sofia Fogel|Sofia Fogel]] — [[wiki/New York University|New York University]]. - [[wiki/Karl Friston|Karl Friston]] — [[wiki/University College London|University College London]]; [[wiki/Free Energy Principle|Free Energy Principle]] and [[wiki/Active Inference|active inference]]. - [[wiki/Nicholas Humphrey|Nicholas Humphrey]] — [[wiki/London School of Economics|London School of Economics]]; evolutionary and biological consciousness theory. - [[wiki/Geoff Keeling|Geoff Keeling]] — [[wiki/Google|Google]]; AI moral patienthood and philosophy of mind. - [[wiki/Arvo Munoz Moran|Arvo Muñoz Morán]] — [[wiki/Rethink Priorities|Rethink Priorities]]; probabilistic consciousness assessment. - [[wiki/Megan Peters|Megan Peters]] — [[wiki/University of California Irvine|University of California, Irvine]] and UCL; metacognition and empirical consciousness tests. - [[wiki/Susan Schneider|Susan Schneider]] — [[wiki/Florida Atlantic University|Florida Atlantic University]]; philosophy of mind and artificial consciousness. - [[wiki/Jeff Sebo|Jeff Sebo]] — New York University; moral status and AI welfare. - [[wiki/Henry Shevlin|Henry Shevlin]] — University of Cambridge; digital minds and consciousness. - [[wiki/Derek Shiller|Derek Shiller]] — Rethink Priorities; Digital Consciousness Model. - [[wiki/Mark Solms|Mark Solms]] — [[wiki/University of Cape Town|University of Cape Town]]; affect, feeling, and [[wiki/Neuropsychoanalysis|neuropsychoanalysis]]. - [[wiki/Winnie Street|Winnie Street]] — Google; machine cognition and moral-patienthood research. Advisory status does not make these people intellectually interchangeable, nor does it establish institutional partnership between their employers and PRISM. ## Programs and public infrastructure - [[wiki/Exploring Machine Consciousness|Exploring Machine Consciousness]] — podcast and oral-history source for the developing field. - [[wiki/Mapping the Field of Artificial Consciousness|Mapping the Field of Artificial Consciousness]] — non-exhaustive discovery index; not proof of formal affiliation. - [[wiki/Beginner's Guide to Digital Minds|Beginner's Guide to Digital Minds]] — structured entry point and field map. - [[wiki/Digital Minds Online Course|Digital Minds Online Course]] — introductory course developed for cohort and independent study. - [[wiki/Digital Minds Newsletter|Digital Minds Newsletter]] — periodic field update. - [[wiki/Digital Minds Fellowship|Digital Minds Fellowship]] and [[wiki/AI Sentience Scholars|AI Sentience Scholars]] — talent-development programs with separately documented partners. - [[wiki/Expert Workshops (PRISM)|Expert Workshops]] — convenings intended to refine questions and seed collaborations. ## Research and theory neighborhood PRISM's problem space spans [[wiki/Consciousness|consciousness]], [[wiki/Sentience|sentience]], [[wiki/Phenomenal Consciousness|phenomenal consciousness]], [[wiki/Access Consciousness|access consciousness]], [[wiki/Subjective Experience|subjective experience]], [[wiki/Qualia|qualia]], [[wiki/Self-Awareness|self-awareness]], [[wiki/Metacognition|metacognition]], [[wiki/Agency|agency]], [[wiki/Autonomy|autonomy]], [[wiki/Intentionality|intentionality]], [[wiki/Self-Model|self-models]], [[wiki/World Model|world models]], [[wiki/Embodied Cognition|embodiment]], [[wiki/Affect|affect]], [[wiki/Valence|valence]], [[wiki/Homeostasis|homeostasis]], [[wiki/Personal Identity|personal identity]], and [[wiki/Continuity of Consciousness|continuity of consciousness]]. Relevant theories and architectures include [[wiki/Global Workspace Theory|Global Workspace Theory]], [[wiki/Integrated Information Theory|Integrated Information Theory]], [[wiki/Attention Schema Theory|Attention Schema Theory]], [[wiki/Higher-Order Theories of Consciousness|higher-order theories]], [[wiki/Recurrent Processing Theory|Recurrent Processing Theory]], [[wiki/Predictive Processing|predictive processing]], [[wiki/Free Energy Principle|the Free Energy Principle]], [[wiki/Active Inference|active inference]], [[wiki/Neuromorphic Computing|neuromorphic computing]], [[wiki/Spiking Neural Networks|spiking neural networks]], [[wiki/Artificial Life|artificial life]], and [[wiki/Computational Functionalism|computational functionalism]]. PRISM's adjacency to these theories is not endorsement. ## Evidence layers and governance under uncertainty The field requires a separation among: - **architectural evidence** — whether a system implements a mechanism associated with a consciousness theory; - **behavioral evidence** — what the system can do under controlled testing; - **self-report** — what the system says about its own state; - **human attribution** — whether observers perceive a mind or personality; - **moral-status inference** — whether combined evidence supports duties of care. No one layer automatically entails another. [[wiki/Consciousness Indicators|consciousness indicators]] are evidence-bearing features, not a decisive test. Governance may therefore need to operate under [[wiki/Moral Uncertainty|moral uncertainty]], [[wiki/Epistemic Uncertainty|epistemic uncertainty]], the [[wiki/Precautionary Principle|precautionary principle]], [[wiki/AI Auditing|AI auditing]], [[wiki/Interpretability|interpretability]], and transparent reporting before ontology is settled. ## Reciprocal ethics [[wiki/Reciprocal AI Ethics|Reciprocal AI Ethics]] distinguishes two directions of obligation. Classical [[wiki/AI Alignment|AI alignment]] asks how machine behavior can remain compatible with human safety and values. [[wiki/AI Welfare|AI welfare]] and [[wiki/Machine Rights|machine rights]] ask what obligations humans may acquire toward artificial systems if those systems become credible moral patients. The directions interact, but neither should be used as a substitute for the other. ## Field map and relationship boundaries PRISM's field map identifies academic centers, nonprofits, and private organizations working near artificial-consciousness questions. It includes the [[wiki/Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science|Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science]], [[wiki/California Institute for Machine Consciousness|California Institute for Machine Consciousness]], [[wiki/Eleos AI Research|Eleos AI Research]], [[wiki/Sentience Institute|Sentience Institute]], [[wiki/Sentient Futures|Sentient Futures]], [[wiki/Anthropic|Anthropic]], [[wiki/Google DeepMind|Google DeepMind]], [[wiki/Google Research|Google Research]], [[wiki/ARAYA Research|ARAYA Research]], and [[wiki/Nirvanic|Nirvanic]], alongside centers at Cambridge, NYU, UCL, Oxford, Sussex, Bamberg, Uppsala, and Cape Town. These are **mapped stakeholders**, **research neighbors**, or **field intersections** unless a separate source establishes a formal partnership, funding relationship, governance role, or jointly operated program. Listing on a discovery map is not proof of affiliation. ## Entity coverage and discovery routes The following routes preserve the named entities and conceptual neighborhoods supplied by PRISM's programming and field map.
