Domains
The same AI system can face very different responsibilities in a church, a classroom, a security workflow, or an organization. Credible evaluation brings technical methods together with domain expertise.
Our focus is Faith and Cybersecurity, with Enterprise as an exploratory direction. In other domains, we share selected outside research and open questions that collaborators can develop.
Featured research domains
Fide AI · Published research
Religious sources, spiritual authority, moral judgment, and the responsibilities of people and institutions.
Our first domain of published empirical work, with studies in Christian contexts.
Explore Faith & Religious Life →Fide AI · Active research
Independent research for resilient AI defense teams, controlled autonomous response, and verified repair.
Explore our research priorities, the consequential programs informing them, and an initial study in development.
Explore Cybersecurity →Fide AI · Exploratory direction
Trustworthy AI for knowledge work: reliable outputs, accountable actions, and effective human review.
An exploratory direction, starting with how to evaluate AI-generated decision briefs against their sources.
Explore Enterprise →More domains & research guides
These guides collect useful work from other institutions and Fide’s public research calls. They are resources and collaboration opportunities; Fide is not currently running studies in these domains.

These areas are represented in Fide’s public research calls. Explore a guide or a proposed question; the calls do not imply established Fide expertise or completed studies in these settings.
Open research calls
Local knowledge, community institutions, and access to services. Several calls begin in faith-based settings; that context remains part of the question.
All calls in this setting →Open research calls
Learning, relationships, and human agency, connected to the Education and Faith domains. Existing calls include both general and explicitly Christian settings.
All calls in this setting →Selected research elsewhere
Our domain guides link to relevant work from METR, Redwood Research, Stanford SCALE, and other institutions. For settings beyond those guides, the references below offer further starting points. Fide does not currently conduct biosecurity research.

Reading the landscape
Published research means released studies you can inspect. Planned research identifies a selected study before experiments begin. Exploratory directions identify a possible next focus before an active study. Proposals are developed ideas seeking a lead or collaborators. Active studies record their specific stage on the project page. Research guides bring together selected outside work, open calls, and any Fide projects in that setting.
External research is labeled by its producer and type. It can be relevant whether or not Fide works in that domain.
