We work to ensure that AI is developed and deployed safely, aligning its impact with the long-term interests of humanity. This means engaging with policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, and the broader public to build awareness and support for measures that can meaningfully reduce AI risk.

CAIS is seeking a skilled content editor to help us develop compelling writing on the societal impacts and risks of artificial intelligence across our online platforms.
