AI at Swift Centre

Better forecasts.
Better policy.
Fewer surprises.

AI is not just something we use - it is something we forecast.

Swift Centre is a global leader in forecasting the future of artificial intelligence itself, including its capabilities, real-world use cases, and trajectories of adoption across sectors.

A core part of our work focuses on forecasting AI policy.

We support policymakers and organisations by anticipating how AI regulation is likely to evolve, how policies may interact with emerging technologies, and where future constraints or opportunities may arise.

Our forecasting helps organisations prepare - not react.

By predicting policy direction and regulatory boundaries in advance, we help decision-makers navigate uncertainty, plan responsibly, and avoid being caught off-guard by government action.

World-Class Forecasters, Augmented by AI

Our forecasting team sits at the very top of the field.

At Swift Centre, we combine human judgment with advanced AI systems to deliver forecasts that are sharper, faster, and more reliable. Our forecasters don’t compete with AI - they work alongside it.

We integrate cutting-edge tools such as Canongate AI to augment human reasoning, strengthen rationales, and stress-test assumptions. The result is forecasting that is both analytically rigorous and transparently human-led.

These are not abstract theorists.

They are practitioners who consistently outperform benchmarks, combining deep domain knowledge with disciplined probabilistic reasoning.

Turning Policy Ambition into Practical Reality

We are currently working with AI Risk Mitigation Fund to convene leading players in AI security and policy.

Together, we’re focused on a critical question:

How quickly can AI labs realistically reach meaningful security standards?

This work supports efforts to evaluate the feasibility and timelines for labs to meet security benchmarks outlined by RAND, helping ground policy discussions in operational reality.
