Flagship Initiatives
Four coherent programs that connect questions across domains
The initiatives are not substitutes for the domain agendas. They connect work that shares a coherent problem, can be led by responsible people, and can produce testable results and concrete outputs.
The Limits of Intelligence, Prediction, and Optimization (?)
The AI Politico-Economy
The Evidence Frontier
The Human Boundary
Each initiative draws from more than one domain. None implies that Sponte already possesses every capability required to pursue every proposed application.

What Changes If We Are Right?
A correct theory of limits does not merely tell us where not to use AI. It can help make AI smarter Deploy boldly where objectives are coherent and performance can be verified. Red…
