  • To advance ethical and responsible practice: To advocate for ethical and socially responsible practices in non-human intelligence research. While NHIR Institute supports public disclosure about the phenomenon from governments, most importantly for its critical research value, we emphasise that we respect the need to protect national and global security.
  • To provide support and advice: To provide support and advice to governmental bodies, research organisations and private enterprise in the advancement of non-human intelligence research with rigorously tested and reviewed data driven scientific research. Part of this support will see NHIR Institute sponsoring events which are aligned with our purpose of advancing science and policies relating to the phenomenon.
