The AI Governance Archive (TAIGA)

The AI Governance Archive (TAIGA) was co-founded in April 2022 by Alex Lintz and Emma Bluemke as a centralized platform for AI governance researchers and collaborators to better coordinate. The platform operates as an access-controlled research archive, allowing qualified researchers to share context-dependent work that is not publicly available — including draft papers, project updates, and ongoing initiatives. TAIGA's team has included Alex Lintz (co-founder and AI governance researcher), Emma Bluemke (co-founder), David Corfield (Executive Director, subsequently departed to found Original Position), and Max Räuker (strategy, access policy, and communications). The platform is funded by grant funding from the Long-Term Future Fund and is administered as a project of Players Philanthropy Fund, a Maryland-based 501(c)(3) organization. The platform serves a six-part theory of impact: improving research quality through information sharing, enhancing networking and collaboration opportunities, increasing field efficiency by reducing duplicated work, developing emerging researchers, informing resource allocation decisions, and supporting broader AI governance field-building activities. In late 2024, TAIGA faced a significant funding crisis. David Corfield announced the platform was running without support and that it would shut down and delete the database for information security reasons in January 2025 if funding could not be secured. At that point the platform had over 120 monthly active users. Corfield was working with the LTFF on a new grant to fund a new Executive Director. The current operational status as of early 2026 is uncertain.
