The UK campaign’s legal governance and finances

Secure Future Research

CONTROLAI is the UK company formerly named Secure Future Research Ltd. It is the legal organization behind the UK ControlAI campaign, with company number 15088415. The name changed on 10 September 2026; older financial records and donations still use Secure Future Research.

Company 15088415 is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. Its filed articles place management with the directors, who are also its legal members. Directors can delegate work, approve budgets and exercise appointment powers. These provisions locate the authority behind the public campaign in an identifiable legal organization.

Andrea Miotti and Eva Behrens are each recorded as holding more than 25% and no more than 50% of voting rights, together with director-appointment or removal rights. Jaan Tallinn’s donor ledger reports £2.5 million sent to Secure Future Research in two installments during 2023–2024.

The September 2026 change to CONTROLAI preserves the company’s identity. Its abbreviated 2024 and 2025 accounts provide balance-sheet information but omit a full income-and-expenditure statement, so the public accounts cannot establish Tallinn’s share of its total funding. The separate US organization has its own records and obligations.

US filings turn the campaign into a more concrete operating structure: a US legal entity reports lobbying expenses, named lobbyists and work directed at Congress. Control AI US reported USD120,000 for Q1 and USD80,000 for Q2 2026. The US reports identify Secure Future Research in their foreign-interest disclosures. The two quarters sum to USD200,000 in rounded expense estimates; contractor disclosures and foreign-entity contribution entries must not be added as independent spending without reconciliation.

From the investigation

New UK formal-authority record

The articles call Secure Future Research Ltd the Foundation and define a Trustee as its company director (Schedule 1, PDF p 20). These are drafting terms for the existing company, not evidence of a second foundation or hidden board. Article 19.1 makes the directors the only legal members , and Article 17.2 allows the board to appoint directors (PDF pp 12–13). Article 7 assigns management and powers to the directors; Article 8 allows delegation, including further delegation if permitted, and lets the directors alter or terminate it. Article 8.4 requires committee expenditure/liabilities to be board-authorized or within a board-approved budget (PDF p 8).

New UK formal-authority record

Article 27 requires minutes of officer appointments, all company/board resolutions including decisions without meetings, and proceedings of board/company/committee meetings. Article 28 provides for accounting and company records (PDF p 17). This makes resolutions, delegation terms and budget authority a specific expected record family with Secure Future Research as custodian; actual existence/compliance and public availability remain unproved. No donor veto or external appointment power was identified in the inspected governance provisions. Grant agreements could nevertheless create contractual constraints and must be checked separately.

ControlAI’s disclosed US lobbying operation

Foreign-entity disclosures identify Secure Future Research Ltd. The registration reports a USD25,000 contribution entry and 0% ownership; Morrison’s separate form has a USD5,000 entry. The form allows several grounds for foreign-entity disclosure. Those entries do not identify an exact transfer date, establish UK-government sponsorship, or settle the terms of UK-US direction.
