## **What we do**

Advanced AI systems pose both immense opportunities and complex challenges. IAPS addresses these with practical policy solutions at the intersection of AI policy and national security.

Our work involves:

- Conducting forward-looking policy research in areas including preparedness, information and supply chain security, and international coordination needed to navigate strategic competition with adversaries who may misuse AI.

- Cultivating policy talent — IAPS is forging a community of researchers and practitioners from across many policy areas and backgrounds to meet this critical moment.

- Providing relevant and timely insights to stakeholders across Congress, the executive branch, industry, academia, and civil society.


Across all our work, intellectual independence is a core value. Read more about our funding and intellectual independence policy [here](https://www.iaps.ai/governance-history-independence-funding).
