<What is Encode Oxford?>

Oxford Encode is a university branch of Encode, a global nonprofit advancing AI safety, governance, and accountability through policy. Encode has had a wide international impact, including:

• Organizing bipartisan events on Capitol Hill to advance landmark AI safety legislation, including the TAKE IT DOWN and DEFIANCE Acts.

• Co-sponsoring SB 1047, California’s first major AI safety bill.

• Contributing to key White House AI initiatives, such as the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights and Executive Order 14110.

• Authoring a 22-point global AI action plan endorsed by leaders like Daron Acemoglu and Yoshua Bengio.

We exist to connect Oxford students with real-world policy initiatives shaping the future of AI.
