Cosmos Ventures launches to back “philosopher-builders” creating new institutions for the AI age, arguing AI is opening a major era of institution building

Cosmos Ventures has launched to fund founders it calls "philosopher-builders" who create new institutions for the AI age. The firm argues AI is the biggest opportunity for institution building since the American founding, because it breaks the assumption that intelligence is bound to humans—ideas, decisions, and analysis no longer require human authors or accountable individuals. The announcement cites Benjamin Franklin's institution-building as a model. It frames institutions as encoding theories of how people should live together, and closes with a Kant-inspired motto: "Condere aude. Dare to found."
