Trajectory Labs

Trajectory Labs is a nonprofit organization based in downtown Toronto, Canada, whose mission is to catalyze Toronto's role in steering AI progress toward a future of human flourishing. Founded by Mario Gibney and operational since January 1, 2025, the organization serves as a physical hub for the growing Toronto AI safety community. The organization operates three core programs. Its Workspace program provides a fully furnished coworking office with 24/7 access for approximately 30 AI safety practitioners, along with amenities including weekday breakfasts and twice-weekly community lunches. Membership is free for approved members working on reducing catastrophic AI risk. The Events program hosts multiple gatherings each week, ranging from casual meetups and expert presentations to weekend hackathons, designed both as entry pathways for newcomers to AI safety and as ongoing educational resources for established researchers. The Peer Network program cultivates mentorship and collaboration opportunities to strengthen members' individual work and Toronto's collective capacity in addressing AI challenges. Trajectory Labs is funded by Open Philanthropy, which made a grant for AI safety coworking space operations in November 2025. The organization's resident community includes full-time independent AI safety practitioners, university students, career-transitioning professionals, and volunteer contributors. Aether, an independent LLM agent safety research group led by Rohan Subramani, Rauno Arike, and Shubhorup Biswas, operates out of the Trajectory Labs workspace. The staff consists of Executive Director Mario Gibney, who has a background in AI governance and safety advocacy, and an Operations Generalist. The board includes Kathrin Gardhouse and Giles Edkins.
