possible futures.

Meet RARThe approach
Policy takes place between people, institutions, and competing futures.
RAR is a Canadian-centric policy initiative focused on AI governance and coordination among middle powers. We’re developing an approach that brings actor mapping and simulation together to examine interventions before they are put into practice.
Simulations & interventions
What happens if we act differently?
Build scenarios around specific choices. Explore how an intervention could change behaviour, and where its assumptions might break down.
Coordination & strategy
Where is cooperation possible?
Examine how actors with different priorities might find common ground. Identify the conditions that could make collective action possible.
