Center for AI Policy (CAIP)

What it does

Was a nonpartisan advocacy group working with Congress from June 2023 to May 2025 on catastrophic AI risk — drafting model legislation, endorsing bills, hosting events and connecting policymakers with AI experts.

What they ask for — in their own terms

US federal government should build the capacity to see and respond to frontier AI risk — monitoring, standards and emergency powers.

What they do

Largely ceased. Its own homepage states 'CAIP has run out of funding and has ceased most of our active operations.' Two residual services continue: a grassroots Policy Advocacy Network training AI safety leaders, and free expert feedback on pending legislation.

Honest assessment

LARGELY SHUT DOWN. Its own site states it 'has run out of funding and has ceased most of our active operations'. Two narrow services persist — the legislative review service and the grassroots advocacy training network — both reachable at the named personal addresses above. Do not treat CAIP as a live advocacy channel; it is now effectively two people offering two specific services.

What a newcomer can do

Little to join. If you are drafting AI legislation you can still request free review; if you are a funder, it invites contact about reviving the organisation.

Worth knowing

FLAG: mostly closed. Do not plan effort around it. Revival contact given on its site is jason@aipolicy.us. This is also a useful data point about the funding asymmetry in this field.

Concerns it covers

Catastrophic risk from advanced AI, with an emphasis on giving government visibility, expertise and response authority.

Government channel

Formerly strong congressional engagement; now residual.

Tips

no

Where they work

United States, federal.

Size

Effectively dormant. Last substantive publication dated 22 May 2025.

Spending

Ran out of funding — that is the organisation's own stated reason for closing.
