AI for the Future of Inquiry

A gateway into AI-enabled research infrastructure for difficult questions.

Future of Inquiry uses AI to turn contested questions about consciousness, causation, and human experience into transparent, testable research programs.

Context

From long-form inquiry to testable research programs.

For more than a decade, Alex Tsakiris has interviewed scientists, philosophers, clinicians, technologists, skeptics, and experiencers. Future of Inquiry extends that work into AI-enabled research infrastructure: protocols, datasets, controls, and public-facing investigations designed to make difficult questions testable.

Current Projects

Research programs built for public scrutiny.

Signal Beyond

AI-enabled research infrastructure for anomalous communication claims.

Signal Beyond tests whether medium-generated statements contain target-specific information that exceeds matched AI-generated zero-information controls under blinded scoring. The project is now in active beta with a live sitter registration path.

Logic Drift Protocol

AI reasoning under social and institutional pressure.

Logic Drift examines how large language models shift their reasoning when authority, consensus, or social pressure enters the frame. It asks how reasoning systems decide what counts as admissible evidence.

NDERF AI / Extreme Conditions

AI-assisted inquiry into reports of consciousness during medically extreme states.

FOI is collaborating with NDERF.org and Dr. Jeffrey Long on a mechanism-neutral workflow for structuring selected reports into clinically reviewable, provenance-aware case packets.

Dream Journal / Precognition

AI-assisted protocols for testing anomalous information across time.

FOI is working with Andrew and a large personally maintained dream corpus to build source-backed dossiers, blinded recovery tests, and adversarial scoring around possible dream-to-event correspondences.

Build better tools for difficult questions.

Future of Inquiry is interested in researchers, technologists, clinicians, experiencers, skeptics, and builders who want to help create better tools for difficult questions.

The goal is not to protect belief. The goal is not to protect consensus. The goal is to test.
