Who we are
A small association, recently founded, with a specific idea about what is missing here.
What we are for
We work with the organisations that build and regulate AI systems, on the research and the rules that decide how those systems turn out. Those systems will shape what happens to a great many people who never get a vote on them. That is the whole reason this association exists, and it is why the work needs doing from here as well as from the places that already have it.
What we work on
Three strands, in ascending order of how long they take. Technical research on evaluating and overseeing frontier systems. Governance work on implementing the AI Act in a member state that is still designating its authorities, and on what the rules after it should say. And field-building: there is no AI safety community in Latvia, and somebody has to start one.
The team
Kārlis Kaņepe
Head of AI, Moneo Development
He puts language models into production software for a living, and thinks there is a real chance the whole project goes badly. Holding both of those at once makes for a strange working day, and is roughly why this association exists.
Evelīna Celmiņa
AI video, The Soul Publishing
She is also AI content director at PhotoAI Group, which puts her at the production end of synthetic media at a scale few have pictured. She knows how convincing it already is, which matters when somebody drafts transparency rules.
The organisation
Our full legal name is Association "Alignment". We are an association under Latvian law, founded in 2025, with a registered address at Krasta iela 6, Pāvilosta LV-3466. Our statutes set out the purpose and how decisions get made. We publish them because an organisation asking to be trusted with grant money should be readable.
