Taking Your Technical Expertise to AI Policy
Join the AAAS S&T Policy Fellowships (STPF) on April 22 at 1 p.m. ET for our live chat on Taking Your Technical Expertise to AI Policy.
Now more than ever, technical expertise is needed in AI governance and policy. In this live chat, hear from three current AAAS STPF AI fellows who will share the journey as a fellow and how the fellowship has impacted their careers. They’ll offer advice on how your experience intersects with policy interests. This live chat serves to deepen your understanding of the fellowship experience and support your application. This will be followed by a Q&A.
