Policy Work
The Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy works closely with legislators throughout the year to support thoughtful, effective AI policy. Through ongoing learning agendas, we gather insights from companies, experts, and real-world use cases to better understand emerging issues and opportunities. These insights inform our work with lawmakers, some of which results in enacted legislation, while other ideas help shape future proposals and keep both policymakers and stakeholders informed and aligned.
