PAST LAW AND POLICY WORKSHOPS

2024 AI Law and Policy Workshop

In August 2024, the Vista Institute hosted a two-day AI Law and Policy Workshop in Washington, DC. The workshop included 21 law students and recent graduates interested in AI policy careers, three law professors, and fifteen AI policy experts from think tanks and government. Speakers and breakout sessions covered a range of topics from liability from AI-enabled harms, compute governance, and policy paths for law students entering government and think tanks, among others.

The event included participants at the Institute for Law & AI, RAND, the Department of Commerce, the Office of Management and Budget, the US House of Representatives, the Council on Strategic Risks, METR, the Future of Life Institute, and the Center for a New American Security, among many more.
