About this Priority
Funding Focus
- AI policy and governance research
- Safety standards and evaluation practice

As AI capability advances, governance and safety become core public-interest concerns. Institutions need better standards, clearer decision frameworks, and stronger operating practices to adopt AI responsibly.
IAIDF supports organizations and initiatives working on policy, oversight, evaluation, and deployment safeguards in ways that are grounded in real institutional constraints.
We are particularly interested in efforts that bridge technical understanding with implementable governance and operational safety practice.
- Governance frameworks that are useful in practice
