Institute for AI Policy and Strategy
ZviThe Institute for AI Policy and Strategy (IAPS) is a nonpartisan think tank that produces policy research to address the implications of AI, from today's most advanced models to potential AGI and superintelligence. IAPS works across three primary research areas: frontier security (addressing AI-related threats to national defense and public safety), compute governance (managing access to massive AI compute resources and enforcing export controls), and international strategy (global AI coordination with emphasis on US-China dynamics). The organization also cultivates AI policy talent through a competitive fellowship program and engages policymakers across Congress, the executive branch, industry, and civil society.

Theory of Change
IAPS believes that advanced AI systems, up to and including potential AGI and superintelligence, present high-magnitude risks to national security, public safety, and global stability. Their theory of change operates through three channels. First, by producing forward-looking policy research that is actionable today but relevant to future AI capabilities, they aim to ensure that governance frameworks are in place before dangerous capabilities emerge. Second, by cultivating a pipeline of skilled AI policy talent through their fellowship program and community building, they increase the capacity of the policy ecosystem to respond effectively to AI risks. Third, by engaging directly with policymakers in Congress, the executive branch, and internationally, they translate technical AI safety insights into concrete policy interventions, particularly around compute governance and export controls, which serve as leverage points for managing access to the resources required to build frontier AI systems.
