A professional network
We bring together people doing serious work in frontier AI safety and governance in the Netherlands, such as researchers, policy professionals, and practitioners, for high-level exchange among peers.
Developing strategic awareness of frontier AI systems in the Netherlands.
DNAIS is the professional network for frontier AI safety and governance in the Netherlands. We connect the people working in the field, partner with the wider AI ecosystem, and keep decision-makers across fields up to date on where frontier AI is actually heading.
The Gap
DNAIS aims to close the gap between public awareness of AI systems and the current state of rapidly changing frontier AI development and its implications for safety and society.
The DNAIS internal professional network connects individuals already working on frontier AI safety and governance through an online community chat and curated networking events.
