Theory of Change
Faculty's theory of change centres on making AI safe and useful in practice, not just in theory. By embedding AI safety and governance into real-world deployments for high-stakes clients in government, healthcare, and defence, Faculty aims to demonstrate and institutionalise responsible AI practices at scale. By collaborating with frontier AI labs on red teaming and safety evaluations, Faculty helps ensure that powerful models are adequately tested before deployment. Through Marc Warner's advisory roles and public advocacy, the company also seeks to shape UK AI policy toward strong safety requirements. The underlying belief is that building and deploying AI responsibly in critical sectors—while advising on regulation and testing frontier systems—creates positive feedback loops that raise safety standards across the industry.
