About IAPS

IAPS works to secure these benefits, anticipate these risks, and meet them with forward-looking proposals.

We:

  • Conduct policy research, looking over the horizon to identify policy proposals that are actionable today but relevant tomorrow, and

  • Cultivate policy talent, forging a community of researchers and practitioners who are thoughtful about uncertainty but able to get things done.

Our work covers three areas: AI policy and standards, compute governance, and international governance and China.
