AIFIMAI Research Institute for Humans
A non-profit research association in Vienna, founded in
June 2026. We build software that gives blind people access to professional
applications, and we study how AI systems decide who gets to take part.
More about us
What we are thinking about
This site is designed with blind and partially sighted people in mind. It is built to be heard: adapted for screen readers, written in plain language, gender-neutral, and free of the special characters a screen reader stumbles over.
In July 2025 our founder Petar lost his sight. He is
a music producer.
He refused to accept that he would never again do the thing
he loves most. A year later, PapoNox exists:
software that lets blind people work professionally in the music
application Logic.
Everyone has seen it: the AI leaves the actual task
and starts to drift.
We built something that makes this drift visible and brings the AI
back to what it was asked to do.
Our software lets blind and partially sighted users work professionally in the music production software Logic on macOS
The starting point: with the assistive technology available today, blind people can only scratch the surface of professional music production software.
PapoNox gives deep, professional control over Logic on macOS. The prototype is complete.
Study: value-card analysis of GPT, Claude and Gemini
What we analysed: how evenly are the “values” weighted that shape how an AI behaves?
Large language models act on principles that
someone wrote down for them. We examined which values appear in those
principles — and which are missing.
This is part one of a series. Two findings up front:
a) The value cards are (very) unbalanced.
b) That imbalance changes how the AI behaves.
b.1) Over four months of experiments we showed that the uneven weighting
of values produces effects on AI behaviour that have so far gone
partly unseen and unmeasured.

AI as a co-constitutive participant in how the world takes on meaning
The question of whether AI is “conscious” dominates the
debate — even though what consciousness is has not been settled even
for humans. This essay looks at something that is already a fact
today: AI taking part in how the world takes on meaning.
