GovAI is a research and field‑building organisation focused on helping decision‑makers navigate the transition to a world with advanced artificial intelligence. It conducts rigorous, policy‑relevant research on the governance, risks, and societal impacts of advanced AI systems, and works to inform governments, industry leaders, and other institutions on how to manage AI’s opportunities and dangers. GovAI also invests heavily in talent development and community building, including fellowships, research collaborations, and other programs aimed at growing a global community of scholars and practitioners working on AI governance. Originally founded at Yale University in 2016, GovAI now operates as an independent non‑profit organisation dedicated to understanding and managing the risks and opportunities posed by advanced AI technologies.
