CAIP work
Advising Policymakers
We’re working with Congress and federal agencies to help them understand advanced AI development and effectively prepare for it. We create resources, host events, and connect policymakers with the stakeholders they need to hear from.
We don't just talk about risks. We develop and advocate for solutions.
We share policy proposals, draft model legislation, and give feedback on others' policies. This work is collaborative and iterative. We take in ideas from our network of leading researchers and practitioners to make recommendations that are both robust and practical.

CAIP priorities
Our policy mission is simple:
require safe AI.
To ensure powerful AI is safe, we need effective governance. That’s why our policy recommendations focus on ensuring the government has enough:
- Visibility and expertise to understand AI development
- Adeptness and authority to respond to rapidly evolving risks
- Infrastructure to support developers in innovating safely
Our Priorities
This work is collaborative and iterative. We take in ideas and feedback from our network of leading researchers and practitioners to make our recommendations both robust and practical.
- Build government capacity
- Safeguard development
- Mitigate extreme risk
As AI grows more capable, so do its risks. We must prepare governance now to keep pace. We are advocating policies to ensure the government has enough:
Visibility and expertise to understand AI development
Adeptness and authority to respond to rapidly evolving risks
Infrastructure to work with rather than against developers
- Visibility and expertise to understand AI development
- Adeptness and authority to respond to rapidly evolving risks
- Infrastructure to work with rather than against developers
Frequently asked questions
With AI advancing rapidly, we urgently need to develop the government’s capacity to rapidly identify and respond to AI's national security risks.

We’re a small, DC-based team of former AI researchers and policy professionals. We work with a wide network of experts from industry, academia, think tanks, government, and nonprofits. You can read more about us here.
We launched CAIP to address the urgent need for effective AI governance. In 2023, hundreds of AI experts warned that AI could cause catastrophic harm in the near future. At the time, very few researchers were sharing these safety challenges with policymakers or identifying concrete legislative solutions. CAIP is now helping close that gap.
CAIP is grateful for the generous support of our donors. We’re supported primarily by mid-level and major individual donors who share our mission to improve AI governance. Several of these donors built up their wealth during the dot-com boom or by working at hedge funds. To protect the privacy of these individuals, we do not publish their names. We also received seed funding through an organization sponsored by Jaan Tallinn, a former founding engineer at Skype. To maintain our independence, we do not accept funding from companies who are designing or building AI software or hardware. We are nonpartisan and focused squarely on the public interest.
We’re always looking for people to join our team and support our work. We also regularly engage with stakeholders across AI and policy, and we would love to hear from you if you have questions, feedback, or ideas for collaborations.
