Secure AI Project

About Secure AI Project

Secure AI Project is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that advocates for the legal and safe development of artificial intelligence. The organization works to ensure that large AI developers are legally required to publish safety and security protocols, that whistleblowers who expose unsafe practices are protected from retaliation, and that developers have clear incentives to mitigate risks.

The project advocates for these principles in state and federal legislatures. One of its key involvements was with California Senate Bill 1047. Secure AI Project is also part of a coalition of organizations calling for major AI companies to publish their whistleblowing policies to increase transparency and accountability. The organization operates remotely within the US, with a preference for Berkeley, CA.

Thomas Woodside, a co-founder and Senior Policy Analyst, previously worked at the Center for AI Safety Action Fund and was the first employee at the Center for AI Safety. His background includes a degree in computer science from Yale and his current pursuit of a master's in Security Studies at Georgetown University.
