1. Building a strong, inclusive community of students and professionals focused on addressing risks associated with emerging technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence.

2. Acting as a catalyst, we support early and mid-career researchers by providing resources and mentorship to pursue impactful research in AI Safety, AI Governance, and AI Policy.

3. Through mentorship and advocacy, we aim to enable meaningful participation from underrepresented populations to foster a diverse generation of leaders who will shape the future of AI responsibly and ethically.

4. Growing a talent infrastructure for inclusive AI by establishing institutional connections to drive substantial progress on key AI Safety, Policy and Governance challenges.
