Establishing a Resilient American Model for AI Governance
You are cordially invited to join the A-I Policy Forum on Capitol Hill for a panel discussion on defining an effective American model for AI governance alongside the announcement of our Big Bets in AI Policy Fellows (a distinguished cohort of senior civil society leaders).
As Congress and the Administration work to establish national frameworks to govern AI, a critical consensus is emerging: a world-leading American AI ecosystem cannot endure on hardware and compute power alone. It requires a resilient layer of civic and regulatory guardrails to directly address growing public concerns, ensure safety, unlock broad-based prosperity, and put human agency at the center of technological progress.

When: Thursday, September 17, 2026
