 Our Mission 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The Artificial Intelligence Policy Institute (AIPI) is a research and advocacy non-profit dedicated to seeking political solutions to potential catastrophic risks from emerging AI technology. We work with journalists, lawmakers, researchers and other AI safety organizations to identify and advocate for government policies to mitigate advanced AI’s most extreme risks. We believe that proactive government policies can significantly reduce the destabilizing effects from AI.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Public Opinion Tracking

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Effective AI policy must reflect the will of the people. Through collaborations with leading polling firms, we regularly poll US voters to assess the level of public concern, understand voters’ response to events in the news, and monitor support for various policy proposals. As policymakers are political actors, demonstration of voter support is essential to building the political will for effective policies.

Our findings are published in comprehensive reports and policy proposals, offering in-depth analysis to guide policy recommendations.
