The AI Policy Network (AIPN)
The AI Policy Network (AIPN) is a Washington, DC-based 501(c)(4) social-welfare organization founded in 2024 to advocate for federal policies that address the risks of increasingly powerful AI systems, including those approaching artificial general intelligence. AIPN educates members of Congress, congressional staff, and federal officials about frontier AI development and lobbies for policy guardrails such as datacenter security policies and transparency requirements. Funded primarily by individual donors, the organization maintains a bipartisan approach and does not receive funding from for-profit organizations. Its team includes former Pentagon AI policy officials and experienced Capitol Hill staff.

Theory of Change
AIPN believes that the greatest leverage point for reducing AI catastrophic risk lies in shaping U.S. federal policy before transformative AI systems are deployed at scale. By directly lobbying Congress and educating lawmakers about the risks of advanced AI — including loss of human control over AGI-level systems — AIPN aims to establish binding legal guardrails (such as datacenter security requirements and transparency mandates) that constrain dangerous AI development. The causal chain is: educate policymakers → build bipartisan political will → pass legislation → enforce safeguards on frontier AI development → reduce probability of catastrophic outcomes from uncontrolled AI.
