Our Launch Event
SeedAI Policy Summit Summary

We are SeedAI, a 501(c)3 working towards AI resources for communities across the U.S. At the SeedAI Policy Summit, we’re bringing together leaders in Congress, the Administration, academia, established industry, and startups to lay a foundation for how we can seize the moment.

In 2017, Andrew Ng said “AI is the new electricity,” describing his view that AI would transform every industry and dramatically increase the pace of technological development in the next several years.

In the years since, world leaders and top CEOs have echoed the premise through statements and furious competition. Yet today, only a few people truly have the ability to study and build AI, or integrate it into their businesses.

So what would the United States become if we started treating AI like electricity? Can we build up capacity for states and regions such that it’s safely and readily accessible for people across the country?

New federal programs are opening an incredible opportunity for us to pursue that possibility. At the SeedAI Policy Summit, we’re bringing together leaders in Congress, the Administration, academia, established industry, and startups to lay a foundation for how we can seize the moment.

Join us and add your voice. From here, we’ll develop pathways to building a representative workforce that creates transparent, trustworthy, and transformative technology -- AI that we’re confident is aligned with our interests, enriching the human experience in ways we can’t yet imagine.
