RedirectAI is a Cyprus-based policy institute. We study how the European Union governs artificial intelligence, with particular attention to small member states — the half of Europe that holds full standing in EU policymaking but rarely shapes the AI conversation.
AI governance questions sit between disciplines that don’t usually speak to each other in policy work. Our programmes are designed to require that conversation.
Quantitative research on AI governance across EU member states. open access, citable, designed to inform policy decisions. The current flagship project is the Small State Exposure Index, measuring the gap between AI Act implementation demands and member-state regulatory capacity.
First release — Spring 2027Analytical work for policymakers — long-form analysis of AI governance questions Europe will need to answer in the coming years, and clarification of contested terms in current AI regulation.
Long-form & short-formSigned essays and commentary on AI policy, governance, and the questions around them. From RedirectAI and from invited contributors.
Open to guest contributionsCurrent projects, with target publication windows.
Three commitments shape every piece RedirectAI publishes.
Most policy commentary responds to whatever is in front of decision-makers this week. Our work studies the questions 3–10 years before they reach the agenda — so the framework is ready when they do.
The AI governance questions that matter sit between legal, technical, philosophical, and policy expertise. We commission and structure our work to require those disciplines to meet, not just to be listed.
EU AI policy is overwhelmingly written from Brussels, Berlin, and Paris. We work from Nicosia because the implementation gaps look different from here — and because that view belongs in the conversation.
Twelve of the EU’s twenty-seven member states have populations under five million. Almost none of the AI policy conversation is built around them.
The EU AI Act is the most ambitious AI regulation in the world, and its implementation is happening now — across twenty-seven national administrations of very different capacity. The smaller members hold full standing in EU governance, but rarely have the institutional resources, technical staffing, or civil-society infrastructure to shape how AI policy is made or carried out.
RedirectAI works from Cyprus because it is one of those states, and because the structural questions about implementation capacity, fundamental rights, and democratic accountability are most visible from inside that position.
