The European Network for AI Safety (ENAIS) is a Europe-focused field-building and coordination network intended to connect AI safety researchers and field-builders across countries, cities, and policy communities—explicitly emphasizing existential-risk (x-risk) concerns from AI. ENAIS’s stated mission is to advance AI safety in Europe, mitigate risks from AI systems (particularly existential risks), and enhance collaboration among AI-safety communities that are described as isolated within Europe.
ENAIS also frames its work as complementary to Europe-specific AI policy needs (e.g., the EU AI Act) and to the practical coordination advantages of transnational collaboration within Europe. ENAIS differentiates itself from many organizations by functioning primarily as “community infrastructure”: maintaining a public network map and directory of people and organizations; publishing periodic updates for the European field; and running recurring field-building initiatives (notably its AI Safety Collab course/coordination program). The organization further uses these community-building mechanisms to help connect policymakers and researchers, and to support the formation or seeding of additional local chapters/groups. As of 2026-09-07, ENAIS presents itself as a decentralized, pan-European network with leadership distributed across multiple countries (e.g., Netherlands, Denmark, Serbia, Hungary, Germany, Norway, and England), and it states that its funding is provided via Lightspeed grants.
