The AI Policy Institute (AIPI) is a research and advocacy nonprofit dedicated to seeking political solutions to potential catastrophic risks from emerging AI technology. Founded in 2023 by Daniel Colson, AIPI conducts extensive public opinion polling through partnerships with firms like YouGov, producing research on voter attitudes toward AI regulation and safety. The institute works with journalists, lawmakers, researchers, and other AI safety organizations to translate public concern about AI risks into effective governance and policy proposals.

Theory of Change
AIPI believes that translating broad public concern about AI risks into concrete, evidence-based policy action is essential to mitigating catastrophic outcomes from frontier AI. By rigorously polling public opinion and demonstrating strong bipartisan voter support for AI regulation, the institute provides policymakers with the political cover and data they need to pursue safety-focused legislation. Through direct engagement with lawmakers, media, and researchers, AIPI aims to ensure that democratic public sentiment is reflected in AI governance rather than allowing the technology's trajectory to be determined solely by industry interests.
