As a nonpartisan 501(c)(4) organization, we're dedicated to:
Demystifying AI
Our research makes complex AI concepts accessible to all. We demystify AI for the public and policymakers and explain how it's built and works. We also explain the safety and security of current AI systems and risks posed by future generally smarter-than-human systems.
Fostering inclusive dialogues
The challenges of AI governance and safety require a collaborative effort. We foster inclusive dialogues on AI's role in society.
Advocating for responsible AI development
We believe AI has enormous potential to benefit the public, and responsible development of AI systems that don't pose catastrophic risks should be incentivized. We promote policies that harness AI's potential while safeguarding the public from catastrophic risks posed by future general AI systems.
Maintaining U.S. leadership in AI development
We propose strategies for maintaining U.S. leadership in AI development. The U.S. has a unique position and can leverage it to ensure frontier AI systems remain aligned with human values globally.
Educational Resources
We recommend a range of materials to keep you informed and engaged:
