Summary

The Center for AI Policy (CAIP) was a US-based 501(c)(4) organization dedicated to advancing AI safety through policy advocacy, model legislation drafting, and expert-policymaker connections. Though it has run out of funding and ceased most operations, it maintains a grassroots Policy Advocacy Network and a legislative review service. Its archived work includes policy papers on topics like whistleblower protections, AI agents, and emergency response resilience.

Key Points

  • CAIP drafted model AI safety legislation and advocated for bipartisan solutions, but has ceased most operations due to lack of funding.
  • Two active programs remain: a grassroots Policy Advocacy Network and a free legislative review/feedback service for policymakers.
  • Policy priorities centered on government visibility into AI development, authority to respond to risks, and infrastructure to support safe innovation.
  • Recent research covers whistleblower protections for AI employees, governing autonomous AI agents, and AI risks to emergency response systems.
  • CAIP retains 501(c)(4) status and is open to donations to revive operations.

 AI will be incredibly transformative, and we’re collectively unprepared for many of its worst risks. 

 ‍

 To help solve this problem, CAIP drafted model legislation , advocated for bipartisan solutions, hosted events to foster discussion and information sharing, gave feedback on others’ policies, endorsed bills that would help protect against AI risk, and connected policymakers with leading experts in AI.

 ‍

 Unfortunately, CAIP has run out of funding and has ceased most of our active operations. The two exceptions are:

 Our grassroots Policy Advocacy Network , which continues to train and support young AI safety leaders from around the country. To connect with the Policy Advocacy Network, please email ivan@aipolicy.us .
 Our legislative review service. If you would like confidential expert feedback on pending legislation or draft legislation, please contact jason@aipolicy.us , CAIP’s Executive Director. We are still in contact with volunteer experts in the technical, legal, and policy details of AI safety, and we would be happy to share free advice on draft legislation and bill text.
 If you would like to help revive CAIP, please contact jason@aipolicy.us , CAIP’s Executive Director, to discuss a donation. CAIP retains its status as a 501(c)(4) corporation, and many of our key team members would be delighted to return if new funding becomes available.

 ‍

 In the meantime, this website preserves CAIP’s most important policy ideas , research papers , and press coverage . We also have recordings of our podcast episodes and panel briefings , and an archive of our company blog .
