Dedicated to understanding and preparing for humanity's transition into an era of transformative artificial intelligence
The Global Economic Alliance (GEA) is a nonprofit think tank focused on the profound economic, social, and governance challenges that advanced AI systems will present to humanity. As we approach artificial general intelligence (AGI), we recognize that every aspect of human civilization—from labor markets to democratic institutions—will be transformed.
GEA brings together the world's leading researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to develop actionable frameworks for navigating this transition. We don't just theorize about the future; we work to shape it responsibly.
GEA conducts rigorous, interdisciplinary research across eight key domains:
Our research teams tackle questions like: How do we ensure widespread prosperity in a post-labor economy? What governance structures can remain legitimate when AI systems can outperform humans in most domains? How do we preserve human agency, meaning, and dignity?
To develop comprehensive, actionable frameworks for navigating humanity's transition to an AGI-enabled future, ensuring that advanced AI systems enhance rather than diminish human flourishing.
We pursue truth through evidence-based research and critical analysis, challenging assumptions and embracing complexity.
The challenges ahead require expertise from every field. We break down silos and foster genuine cross-disciplinary dialogue.
Technology should serve humanity's deepest values and aspirations, not the other way around.
Academic research matters only if it informs real-world decisions. We translate insights into practical policies.
We welcome diverse perspectives and constructive disagreement, knowing that the best ideas emerge through debate.
We don't just react to changes; we anticipate them, preparing society for what lies ahead.
GEA operates through three core mechanisms:
We stand at a unique moment in human history. Within years—not decades—AI systems may exceed human capabilities across virtually all cognitive domains. This transition will be more consequential than the agricultural or industrial revolutions. It will challenge our economic systems, social structures, and fundamental notions of what it means to be human.
The question is not whether AGI will arrive, but whether we'll be ready for it. GEA exists to help ensure we are.
