The AI Safety Awareness Project (AISAP) equips traditional American societal pillars — including law enforcement, libraries, churches, universities, and the general public — to take an active role in shaping AI for a flourishing human future. The organization runs free in-person AI safety workshops across major U.S. cities covering topics such as AI capabilities, frontier AI risks, AGI, regulation, mechanistic interpretability, and loss-of-control scenarios. AISAP's core premise is that AI's rapid development requires fast and effective action from both public and private sectors, and that effective AI policy requires an informed citizenry.

Theory of Change
AISAP's theory of change holds that most Americans — and many key societal institutions — lack the awareness and skills needed to engage meaningfully with AI governance. This vacuum leaves AI development shaped primarily by industry insiders and a narrow set of experts. By educating traditional societal pillars (law enforcement, libraries, churches, universities), AISAP aims to build a broad, informed citizenry capable of advocating for responsible AI policy and development. An informed public creates political demand for effective AI regulation, brings diverse perspectives into AI governance conversations, and reduces the risk that advanced AI systems develop in ways that are harmful to society. The causal chain is: public education → informed citizens → better policy advocacy → more representative and safer AI development outcomes.
