Many voices, one conversation
AI will shape every country. Every country should help shape its future.
Plures is a nonprofit helping countries beyond the AI frontier prepare for advanced AI and shape how it is governed. We connect people, knowledge, and organizations to strengthen local capacity and international cooperation.

Why we exist
A shared future needs wider participation.
Decisions about advanced AI will affect lives, institutions, and economies around the world. Yet the ability to influence those decisions remains concentrated in a few countries and companies.
More countries can play a meaningful role in reducing AI’s risks and shaping its development. Doing so takes people who understand the challenges, institutions prepared to respond, and connections that make cooperation possible.
Plures helps build those foundations.
Our approach
Local knowledge. Shared purpose. Collective action.
We are building Plures to help people and organizations turn concern about AI’s future into work that makes a difference—in their own countries and together across borders.
Strengthen local capacity
Help people and organizations develop the knowledge, connections, and capabilities to advance AI safety and governance where they live.
Connect knowledge to action
Bring global expertise into conversation with local priorities, helping people understand what advanced AI could mean for their country and what they can do to prepare.
Build cooperation across countries
Connect organizations working on shared challenges so they can learn from one another, collaborate, and contribute to international AI governance.
Who we work with
More countries have a role to play.
We work with countries beyond the AI frontier. They will live with AI’s consequences, and they hold real leverage over how it is governed: diplomatic influence, economic weight, and expertise.
That includes middle powers with weight in international negotiations, and every country determined to have a say. With stronger local capacity and closer cooperation, they can help reduce AI’s risks, build more resilient societies, and strengthen multilateral AI governance.
