ALI Talks with Commerce, USTR, and State

In July, ALI hosted two events for wide-ranging discussions with officials from the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, and the U.S. Department of State on topics, including the US-EU Trade and Technology Council (TTC), the Indo-Pacific Economic Forum (IPEF), and the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.

Brookings: How Privacy Legislation Can Help Ad dress AI

"Artificial intelligence policy is not starting from scratch, though. There is some consensus around measures that can help increase understanding and judgment about AI systems, their operation, and their effects.

Center for American Progress: Investing to Be Competitive: The New U.S. Industrial Strategy

"The supports and incentives embedded in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the CHIPS and Science Act are designed to overcome well-understood market failures and the effects of past misguided policies to enable significant structural change in the U.S. economy. These include growth of advanced manufacturing capacity in key sectors; reduction in carbon emissions from power generation, transportation, and buildings; and improved wages and job quality for workers."
