Center for AI Safety (CAIS)

The Center for AI Safety (CAIS) is a nonprofit research organization dedicated to reducing existential risks from advanced artificial intelligence. Founded in 2023, CAIS conducts empirical research on AI safety problems, develops technical solutions, and engages with policymakers and industry stakeholders to promote safer AI development practices.

The organization focuses on concrete, actionable research rather than purely theoretical work. CAIS's research areas include AI alignment, robustness, interpretability, and governance. The organization works to bridge the gap between academic AI safety research and practical implementation in industry settings.

Central to CAIS's approach is collaboration with AI labs, policymakers, and other safety-focused organizations. The organization aims to make AI safety research more empirically grounded and practically applicable to real-world AI systems development.
