Theory of Change
KIRA believes that independent, technically grounded policy research combined with direct engagement with decision-makers is the most effective way to shape AI governance before advanced AI systems outpace existing oversight capacity. By educating parliamentarians and civil servants, advising on regulation such as the EU AI Act, and producing scientific consensus documents like the International AI Safety Report, KIRA aims to build state capacity and international coordination mechanisms that reduce the probability of harmful or ungoverned AI deployment. The causal chain runs from improved policymaker understanding and better-designed regulations to governance frameworks that enable beneficial AI while constraining catastrophic risks.
