We address AI’s toughest challenges through technical research, field-building initiatives, and policy engagement, along with our sister organization in DC, Center for AI Safety Action Fund.
Public awareness remains the single biggest bottleneck in AI safety. Fortunately, the public's interest in AI safety is growing extremely quickly.

CAIS is building a public engagement team to harness this surge in public interest and maximize the amount of attention that AI safety receives.

What You’ll Do
- Develop and maintain CAIS' core messaging and narrative
- Draft “what we say when X happens” playbooks
- Monitor discourse across major platforms
- Shape narrative themes and editorial priorities
