Centre for Long-Term Resilience

CLTR works on policy for long-term risks, including the government arrangements needed to manage advanced AI. It describes an AI unit producing practical contributions for officials. Its April 2026 parliamentary submission proposed Cabinet Office coordination, an independent Office for AI Responsibility, parliamentary scrutiny and citizen deliberation. These proposals make its preferred institutional destination visible.

Its contribution to the October 2023 UK frontier-AI guide is a particularly useful example. CLTR says its unit wrote the entire model-reporting and information-sharing section. The government acknowledges CLTR among the guide’s contributors and describes the document as a nonmandatory menu of emerging practices. This puts an attributable policy-production relationship inside a public government output.

The organization’s resources come through philanthropy. Its 2023 report attributes all £470,224 received that year to SFF. Its 2024 report, published in 2025, describes an Open Philanthropy commitment of £4 million over three years and separate matching offered up to £3 million. Tallinn’s ledger also records support across several years. These records reveal an institution with the backing to sustain specialist policy work.

CLTR says it receives no government funding and seeks unrestricted gifts. Its support page offers funders tailored reports, expert access, advocacy opportunities and events; its annual report says donor commitments deny influence over strategy and priorities. The relationship is therefore worth understanding in its own terms: funders support an organization that produces policy expertise, and both officials and supporters can gain access to that expertise.
