About IAPS


Realizing the potential of advanced AI while also navigating its risks requires thoughtful, technical work that recognizes both the scale and the uncertainty of this transformative technology. IAPS works to secure these benefits, anticipate these risks, and meet them with forward-looking proposals.

We:

  • Conduct policy research, looking over the horizon to identify policy proposals that are actionable today but relevant tomorrow, and

  • Cultivate policy talent, forging a community of researchers and practitioners who are thoughtful about uncertainty but able to get things done.

Our work covers three areas: frontier security, compute governance, and international strategy and China.
