– 2+ years of relevant experience

The Center for AI Policy is an advocacy organization that aims to develop and promote policies that reduce risks from advanced AI.
Our current focus is building “stop button for AI” capacity in the US government. We have proposed legislation to establish a federal authority that engages in hardware monitoring, licensing for advanced AI systems, and strict liability for extreme model harms. Our proposed legislation also develops the ability to “press the button” – the federal authority would also monitor catastrophic risks from advanced AI development, inform congress and the executive branch about frontier AI progress, and have emergency powers to shut down frontier AI development in the case of a clear emergency. More detail can be found in the work section of our website.
We also aim to broadly raise awareness about extreme risks from AI by engaging with policymakers in congress and the executive branch.
