Singapore AI Safety Hub

The Singapore AI Safety Hub (SASH) is Singapore's first civil society organization dedicated to AI safety. Founded in February 2025 by Miro Plueckebaum, SASH operates as a co-working, events, and community space for researchers and professionals working on AI safety. The hub is located at WeWork, 22 Cross Street in central Singapore. SASH serves as a platform for AI safety governance, technical research, and field-building in the Asian region. The hub houses established researchers from internationally recognized AI safety organizations including FAR.AI, Truthful AI, Apart Research, The Future Society, and Impact Academy, who conduct both technical and governance research on-site. In its first year, SASH hosted over 30 events attracting more than 1,000 attendees and established partnerships with key stakeholders including IMDA (the Infocomm Media Development Authority), the Singapore AI Safety Institute, and SGInnovate. The hub has also partnered with the Technical Alignment Research Accelerator (TARA) to launch local cohorts. SASH's programs span several areas: sponsoring and incubating AI safety research through a residency program that brings top international researchers to Singapore; working with existing AI safety upskilling nonprofits to bring their programs to Singapore; and expanding relationships with key AI governance stakeholders domestically and internationally. The hub has organized events including AI Control Hackathons with Apart Research, Women in AI Safety gatherings, AI Security Bootcamps, and the ML4Good Bootcamp. Founder Miro Plueckebaum splits his time between running SASH, serving as a Programme Specialist at the Centre for the Governance of AI, and supporting the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative on strategy and research management. He has over a decade of experience in AI products and governance across Europe and Asia, having established SAP's initial AI governance efforts in Europe and led data analytics products at ByteDance in Beijing and Singapore. He is a graduate of Schwarzman College at Tsinghua University and the University of York. SASH is fiscally sponsored by Impact Academy Limited and has received funding from the Survival and Flourishing Fund. The organization is actively seeking a founding Executive Director to lead its next phase of growth.
