Brown CNTR AI Policy Summer School 2025

Brown University CNTR is launching an AI Policy Summer School with a dual location format in Providence, RI and Washington, DC. The program aims to enable graduate students to conduct high-quality policy-informed AI research, empower students to advocate for new AI policies or changes to existing policy, and build a pipeline of qualified technologists to fill emerging needs in government. The first week features seminars, reading groups, and discussions on AI Policy fundamentals, while the second week involves travel to Washington, D.C. to discuss relevant legislation with Congressional offices, executive agencies, and civil society organizations. Confirmed speakers include Alan Davidson (former NTIA administrator), Kiri Wagstaff (Former AI Policy Advisor to Senator Mark Kelly), and Helen Toner (Director of CSET). The event is open to graduate students and postdocs in computing and affiliated fields, with consideration for dedicated undergraduates as well. No prior policy experience required.
