What We Do

AIP supports policymakers on their journey to learn about emerging technologies.

We are committed to bringing policymakers face-to-face with the builders, technologies, and businesses shaping America's economic future. AIP events and programming are designed to connect policymakers, industry innovators, and subject-matter experts, and to translate complex, emerging technological trends into actionable understanding.

Our Programming

Creating Experiential Learning Moments

AIP hosts a variety of educational events and programming. By cultivating a warm and open learning environment, AIP aims to create space for policymakers (and future policymakers!) to ask questions, explore use cases, and build genuine understanding in real-world contexts. This hands-on approach is designed to bring Members of Congress and their staff directly in conversation with those building the next generation technologies.

Empowering Next Generation Tech-Fluent Policy Professionals

Through the AIP Policy Innovation Fellowship, recent graduates have the opportunity to learn about emerging technology fundamentals, and then receive placements in congressional offices to experience the policymaking process firsthand. By investing in the next generation, we are embedding tech literacy in the policy development process and creating a pipeline of policy professionals who are passionate about getting tech policy right.

Building Cross-Sector Connections

AIP helps build authentic connections between all kinds of technologists and legislators. AIP intimately understands both worlds and the key players in each, and serves as a convener for those looking to learn through 1:1 interactions, small groups, or larger forum settings, allowing them to engage in honest conversation around timely topics.

Generating Third-Party Research

The 2026 Major Research Initiative will focus on quantifying how technological disintermediation, particularly through blockchain and AI, empowers the middle class by increasing take-home pay and expanding opportunities, providing critical data for Capitol Hill champions to advance a worker-first innovation agenda.

Why Policymaker Education Matters

Growing Public Engagement

Emerging technologies are becoming part of everyday life, yet many Americans still feel uncertain about how to interpret these changes. As adoption grows, policymakers must understand the real-world trends shaping public engagement.
