AstraEthica is an independent AI safety research and evaluation lab focused on long-horizon behavior in persistent and agentic AI systems interacting with people and institutions over time.
While much AI safety research examines model behavior in controlled settings, AstraEthica studies what emerges through sustained use: how trust, language, memory, permissions, decision-making, and human oversight change as context accumulates, and how small shifts can compound into larger safety, security, and reliability risks.
AstraEthica translates this research into practical evaluation methods, scenario frameworks, threat models, field guides, operating materials, and publications designed to help researchers, developers, and institutions recognize emerging risks and build safeguards that remain effective under real-world conditions.
Practical tools for evaluating long-horizon behavior and human-AI interaction under realistic operating conditions.
Explore evaluation frameworks, scenario methods, operating guides, assessment tools, and implementation materials developed through AstraEthica’s ongoing research.
Plain-language guides for building a foundational understanding of AI in everyday life.
Clear, accessible resources on AI, synthetic media, digital safety, and the social realities of AI for educators, families, institutions, and the broader public.
Observations, essays, visual models, and research notes documenting emerging behavioral patterns and interaction dynamics in human-AI systems.

Behavior Under Conditions I
