Under the Hood of AI Policymaking

A Conversation with Rebecca Kagan

AI policy is moving fast in Washington — new executive orders, shifting export controls, debates over federal versus state regulation. But how do these decisions actually get made, who's in the room, and how do agencies coordinate?

Rebecca Kagan (HLS '24) is a Senior Policy Advisor at the U.S. Department of Commerce's Office of Policy and Strategic Planning and an AI Fellow at the Berkman Klein Center. She will join us for a conversation on how AI policy gets made, who the key players are, and what it's like to work on these issues from inside government. This is a great opportunity for students thinking about careers in public service or tech policy.

This event will be off-the-record. Lunch will be provided.
