For AI Researchers

The channel from your work
to how it gets used.

For frontier labs and AI safety researchers: a working route from technical findings to the doctrine, acquisition, and operational decisions that determine how American AI gets fielded — with editorial standards on both sides.

How we work with labs

Three ways we work with frontier labs.

Independent analysis. Editorial standards on both sides. Attribution by agreement.

01 · Independent Evaluation

Capability assessment, on the record

Rigorous, non-commercial assessment of frontier model capabilities in scenarios relevant to national security decision-makers. Findings produced for, and trusted by, both sides of the table — because the evaluator has no equity in the outcome.

02 · Translation

From technical findings to operational language

Turning research outputs into the forms operators, program offices, and acquisition leaders can act on, without losing technical fidelity. Editorial standards on both sides; attribution by agreement.

03 · Convening

Closed-door, neutral-ground dialogue

A facilitated venue for direct conversation between frontier labs and the National Security Enterprise. Discretion on our partners' terms. Attribution by agreement.

AI Safety is the larger mission.

Frontier Security Institute at the Center for AI Safety focuses on the National Security Enterprise. Our work is grounded in CAIS's mission of reducing societal-scale risks from artificial intelligence.
