Obama-Biden alumni launch AI policy initiative

Alumni of the Obama and Biden administrations are launching a public policy initiative aimed at defining the center-left perspective on AI. Democrats across the country are taking action on AI as the midterms near, implementing data center moratoriums and running for office on AI safety platforms. The American Innovation Policy Forum is looking to shape the Democratic vision for AI ahead of 2028. The group plans to hold listening sessions across the country to zero in on community concerns about AI and bring them back to Washington. Those conversations will inform policy recommendations that fellows will brief lawmakers on starting in the fall. Former senior Obama and Biden officials from regulatory agencies and the White House, along with other experts, will serve on a council to advise the effort and the forum's fellows.
