Foresight.org Reviews

Foresight is a US-based 501(c)(3) research organization founded in 1986 by Christine Peterson and Eric Drexler. The institute supports ambitious, interdisciplinary work at the frontiers of science and technology via grants, prizes, fellowships, technical workshops, and flagship conferences (Vision Weekend). Its programs target areas that often fall between traditional institutions, including secure AI, neurotechnology, longevity, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and space. Foresight also runs more than 40 seminar groups a year, publishes recorded presentations and podcasts, and is launching two physical "AI Nodes"—hubs intended to provide funding, community space, and local compute for researchers. The organization lists transparency documents (Form 990 and audited financial statements) on its site and provides contact points for press, grants, events, and fellowship inquiries. The Foresight team and board members are published on the site, along with a calendar of upcoming events and program-specific contact emails.
