After nearly four years, we are winding down the Policy Leadership Initiative.
The initiative emerged from a tension I had experienced over more than a decade working on digital policy in Brussels: those most impacted by tech-facilitated harms are too often absent from the rooms where decisions are made.
In our sixth AI Openness & Equity Policy Leadership Cohort session, we were joined by Bruce Schneier to unpack the intersection between AI openness and security. Our conversations centered on questions including:
What does “security” in the AI context actually mean?
In our fourth AI Openness & Equity Policy Leadership Cohort session, Michelle Thorne from the Green Web Foundation joined us as we explored climate justice in the context of AI. Specifically, our discussion centered around the question: how does AI intersect with climate justice, and what can it mean for public interest technology?
In our third AI Openness & Equity Policy Leadership Cohort session, we dove deeper into a tough but timely question: how do we design AI that actually serves the public - not just in theory, but in practice?
Our second AI Openness & Equity Policy Leadership cohort session centered around understanding the intention, value, and suitability of open source when applied to AI. Our discussions tackled a foundational question: What does “openness” mean in the age of AI, and how can the values of open-source guide AI systems to serve the public good?
We’re delighted to announce that Nitya Kuthiala has joined the inaugural AI Openness & Equity Policy Leadership Cohort as AI Policy Fellow at Aspiration!
