Center for AI Safety

The Center for AI Safety (CAIS) hosted and announced the 2023 statement on AI risk on May 30, 2023. Its launch announcement describes the nonprofit’s mission as reducing societal-scale AI risk through research, field-building and advocacy.^[2]

Hosting a public appeal

CAIS provided the statement and signatory page, and reports using email confirmation or personal contact to verify signatures. This is a concrete role in organizing public discussion; it does not demonstrate the effectiveness of a policy or validate the appeal’s predictions.^[2][1]

The statement asks for extinction-risk mitigation to become a global priority. It leaves particular policy instruments unspecified. The host’s other positions and activities should not be attributed to every signatory.^[1]
