Strengthening global security by training AI governance professionals.

Polaris runs strategic upskilling programs to build global AI governance leadership.

Polaris is a new talent accelerator bridging critical gaps in AI governance and policy. Our programs, designed by subject-matter experts, serve to train policymakers and researchers across global governance institutions, civil society, and the private sector. By equipping decisionmakers to shape AI policy, we strengthen global capacity to meet the world’s most pressing challenges and opportunities from frontier AI.
