About HRG
An independent research initiative examining how AI reshapes institutions, governance, and human decision systems.
The Initiative
The Hinsdale Research Group (HRG) is an independent, Colorado-based research initiative. It operates outside traditional academic or think-tank structures, allowing for flexible, long-horizon inquiry unconstrained by institutional funding cycles or disciplinary boundaries.
HRG's work is characterized by conceptual rigor, a systems-level perspective, and a commitment to research that is actionable for practitioners navigating real institutional challenges posed by AI.
