The AI Safety Communications Centre is a project fiscally sponsored by Effective Ventures Foundation that provides communications support to the AI safety community. Its primary work involves maintaining a curated directory of AI safety experts available to speak with journalists, publishing resources on AI risk and regulation, and commissioning public opinion research on AI safety issues. The organization was co-founded by Shakeel Hashim and Alex Lintz, and received a $288,000 grant from Open Philanthropy in January 2024.

Theory of Change
AISCC operates on the theory that improving media coverage of AI safety is a high-leverage way to increase public and policymaker awareness of AI risks. By reducing friction for journalists seeking credible AI safety experts — through a vetted expert directory and curated resources — AISCC aims to increase both the quantity and quality of journalism on AI risk. Better-informed public discourse is expected to generate pressure for responsible AI development practices and stronger regulatory oversight, thereby reducing the probability of catastrophic outcomes from advanced AI systems.
