Our priorities
Public policy first. A broader mission for identity safety.
AIIS’s work centers on public policy, national identity security, and scam protection. Victim restoration leads our launch. Deepfakes and AI agents cut across all three areas, with a strong emphasis on children, older adults, and other vulnerable populations.
AI across the mission
Deepfakes can imitate a person. Agents can carry out tasks on someone’s behalf. Our policy questions connect identity, permission, accountability, and recovery.
Explore the AI policy questionsOur launch focus · Make restoration part of the response.
Public policy
Develop practical state and federal policy proposals for identity misuse, AI-enabled impersonation, and victim restoration. Our launch focus is a more coordinated path from harm to recovery.
Understandable responsibilities, accessible procedures, and meaningful ways to correct the consequences of identity misuse.
The policy questionHow can policy reduce the burden on affected people while maintaining reliable evidence and accountability?
Vulnerable populations throughoutDesign recovery procedures and protections around the needs of children, older adults, and people who face greater barriers to reporting or correction.
Our broader mission · Protect the systems behind public trust.
National identity security
Examine how stolen identity data, deepfakes, and the use of AI agents affect institutional trust. Consider how people and software should be identified and authorized, while preserving privacy, civil liberties, and access.
More trustworthy identity systems, with accountability for misuse and meaningful ways to challenge mistakes.
The policy questionHow can institutions establish who or what is acting, and with whose authority, without creating new barriers or unnecessary surveillance?
Vulnerable populations throughoutInclude people with different abilities, documentation, and access needs when considering security measures.
Our broader mission · Strengthen protection against deception.
Scam protection
Focus on protections against scams and impersonation, including deceptive AI-generated voices, images, video, and messages. Connect prevention with clearer reporting and practical routes to recovery.
Protections that help people avoid deception, report harm, and navigate the response when a scam occurs.
The policy questionWhat safeguards can make AI-enabled deception harder to exploit and provide a useful response when a person’s voice or likeness is misused?
Vulnerable populations throughoutGive particular attention to the protection of children and older adults, while preserving independence, dignity, and access.
A shared responsibility
