Summary
The Institute for AI Policy and Strategy (IAPS) is a think tank of aspiring wonks working to understand and navigate the transformative potential of advanced AI. Our mission is to identify and promote strategies that maximize the benefits of AI for society and develop thoughtful solutions to minimize its risks.
We aim to be humble yet purposeful: we’re all having to learn about AI very fast, and we’d love it if you could join us in figuring out what the future holds together.

About
Mission
Securing benefits and managing risks from advanced AI
Who we are
The United States is the global leader in AI development, and maintaining that leadership is crucial for national security and global stability. At the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy (IAPS), we engage experts across the U.S. and allied nations to deliver concrete, technically sound policy research that enhances national competitiveness and mitigates emerging risks while protecting the space for innovation to thrive.
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.
