AI Safety Asia (AISA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing catastrophic AI risks by advancing safe and governed AI across Asia. Founded in 2024, AISA works to bridge Global North-South gaps in AI governance through three core pillars: facilitating dialogue among policymakers, researchers, and civil society; developing a regional knowledge ecosystem; and conducting actionable policy research. The organization's work spans Southeast, East, and South Asia, with a focus on building local talent and enabling governments and civil society to engage meaningfully with AI safety challenges.

Theory of Change
AISA operates on the premise that Asia, representing approximately 60% of the global population, is underrepresented in global AI safety and governance conversations. By training government officials and civil society leaders, producing regionally grounded policy research, and facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogue, AISA aims to build the capacity for Asian governments to adopt effective AI governance frameworks. Better-governed AI in Asia reduces the risk of ungoverned or misaligned AI development and deployment at scale. Regional cooperation and local ownership of AI safety norms also bridges the Global North-South gap, ensuring that governance solutions reflect Asian contexts and are more likely to be adopted and sustained.
