From the book (technically from the GM-only section, but not really a spoiler for most campaigns):

The Singularity Foundation—formed at the dawn of the 21st century—was dedicated to the creation of safe articial intelligence software, while raising awareness of the benefits and dangers AIs represented. A fervent believer in the singularity doctrine that technology would move towards a single explosion of advancements that would forever reshape humanity, the Singularity Foundation was a strong advocate for creating friendly AIs that would help protect humanity from an uncontrolled, dangerous singularity event. This group was significant in that it secretly succeeded in creating a group of friendly seed AIs before the Fall. These Prometheans were indispensable in protecting transhumanity and countering the TITAN threat during the Fall.

("Seed AI" is a term Eliezer coined, in case it isn't already obvious that the writers have been reading the SIAI website.)
