Tavern Labs is our dedicated depart for speculative and long-term research, driven by the ambition to uncover groundbreaking insights in the messaging and political landscape. Our team is comprised of experienced data scientists, engineers, and strategists, all focused on tackling profoundly challenging, yet critically important, research problems.

We delve into the complex dynamics of how ideas and issues spread and evolve across online spaces. These are multi-year research projects, designed to yield significant, long-term benefits in understanding and influencing public discourse.

Our primary objective is to understand the mechanisms of information propagation and, crucially, to identify and test interventions that can effectively influence these digital conversations, ultimately shaping public opinion. We also aim to understand how, in the evolving world of AI and new technology, we can fully leverage these advancements to do good in the world. We believe these strategic investments in foundational research will unlock unprecedented capabilities in the art and science of persuasion.
