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. Survival is a hypothesis; anomalous communication is the empirical target.

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.

Consciousness Under Extreme Conditions

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

This work uses AI to organize cases, compare interpretations, and clarify what different models of consciousness would predict when consciousness appears to be reported under medically extreme conditions.

Precognition and Causation

AI-assisted protocols for testing anomalous information across time.

Rather than treating precognition as belief or folklore, this work asks what careful experimental design would require if claims about future information are to be tested seriously.

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.
