What they ask for — in their own terms
The US government should take a proactive approach to AI governance that protects the public, including preserving states' ability to regulate AI rather than pre-empting them.
What they do
Policy research, reports and briefs; federal advocacy; and since September 2026 a nationwide push for state-level AI guardrails. Cofounded by former Rep. Brad Carson, who also leads the Public First super PAC network.
What a newcomer can do
Join the email list for policy updates, read Policy Bytes, and donate via Support Us; contact staff if you can help on a state campaign.
Worth knowing
No explicit volunteer or membership programme on its site — the realistic newcomer routes are the mailing list and money. Its leadership overlap with the Public First super PACs means supporting ARI is adjacent to electoral politics, which some people will not want.

Not disclosed on its own site. Reported by Forbes as funded by effective-altruism-linked donors and safety-focused investors, and connected to the pro-regulation super PAC effort — treat that attribution as UNVERIFIED against ARI's own pages.
