What we do

Academic field building

Policy research to navigate emerging challenges from AI advancements is a growing field of study, but is still limited in size. Informed policy discourse requires deep engagement from academia, industry, and civil society. We aim to foster the growth of AI policy as a robust field of study within academic institutions to expand the body of knowledge on the subject. Our current programs focus on supporting the field of AI law and policy at US law schools.

Talent development

Developing effective policies to navigate the evolving AI landscape requires a pool of talented experts across several subject matter areas who are well-versed in the technical aspects of AI. We help students and recent graduates build the necessary skills, knowledge, and networks to build careers in the nascent but growing field of AI policy. Our current programs focus on law students and recent law graduates.

Current programs

The Vista Institute is sponsoring four AI Law and Policy Fellows conducting independent research or collaborating with a law professor. Over the next year, we will host a range of programming to grow expertise in AI law and policy, including workshops, roundtables, courses, and more. Learn more about our programming here.
