Lunch Briefing: Steering AI Policy in the Right Direction
NOTE: Registration for this event will be limited. We will be recording the session and will send to those not able to attend after the event.
Join NEVCA, Flybridge, and HBS for a virtual policy briefing with Eric Gastfriend, Executive Director of Americans for Responsible Innovation (ARI), a leading nonprofit organization focused on advancing practical, bipartisan AI policy.
During this session, Gastfriend will provide an overview of the evolving legislative and regulatory landscape shaping artificial intelligence in the United States. Attendees will gain insight into the key issues policymakers are considering, emerging proposals at the federal and state levels, and what these developments could mean for investors, entrepreneurs, and the broader innovation ecosystem.
The briefing will include a presentation followed by a moderated Q&A, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with policy experts and ask questions about the future of AI governance.
Whether you're an investor, founder, or ecosystem leader, this session is designed to provide a timely, nonpartisan perspective on one of the most important policy conversations impacting innovation today.
