MINT (Machine Intelligence & Normative Theory) is a cutting-edge research lab led by Prof. Seth Lazar, based at Australian National University. We investigate the philosophical foundations of AI ethics and sociotechnical safety, combining deep theoretical inquiry with practical impact.

Our interdisciplinary team—spanning postdocs, PhDs, and affiliates—tackles issues from LLM evaluation and moral epistemology to political legitimacy and AI agency. We collaborate globally with industry, academia, and government to shape the future of ethical AI.

We're always keen to connect with new collaborators, students, and affiliates. Join us in building responsible, philosophically grounded AI.
