For people who are on the fence about donating and want an outside opinion:
I think CAIP is one of the best orgs at what they do in DC, and I think that what they do is important for many of the reasons Jason laid out above. I continue to think efforts for good AI governance is one of the highest-leverage things we can do for AI safety right now. My experience is that the CAIP team is highly competent and very well networked across AI safety and the policy world.
My favorite review from a congressional staffer of one of the AI risk demos at a CAIP event is “that’s terrifying.” They’re concretely shifting opinion in DC and keeping things impressively nonpartisan while doing so.
I don’t work for CAIP, but I’ve collaborated with them in the past. Whether or not people donate doesn’t affect my finances or any of the work I do right now—I just think that they’re doing good work and should have the funding to keep doing it.
