DESCRIPTION:On the day President Trump took office, he revoked the Biden 
 administration’s executive order that imposed guardrails on developing 
 and using artificial intelligence technology. \n\nAt a major AI summit that 
 followed, Vice President JD Vance announced that the administration would 
 “make every effort to encourage pro-growth AI policies,” and urged 
 other governments to roll back “excessive regulation.” At the same 
 time, Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have 
 pushed to automate critical agency functions, in service of an 
 “AI-first” vision of governance.\n\nEmbedded within the controversies 
 over these moves are concerns about the rapid introduction of AI across the 
 federal government, from chatbots to automated defense systems.\n\n Are 
 these fears well-founded? \n\nWill the adoption of AI truly benefit 
 Americans? \n\nWhat are the risks to privacy and democratic governance? 
 \n\nHow can we trust this process given tech billionaires’ unprecedented 
 role in the new administration? \n\nAnd what might come next? \n\nJoin the 
 Brennan Center on Wednesday, April 2 at noon PT for a discussion with a 
 leading technology journalist, former government AI leaders, and Brennan 
 Center experts. They will offer perspectives on how to make sense of what 
 the administration is doing and how to hold them accountable to democratic 
 norms and values.\n\nSpeakers:\n\n    Vittoria Elliott, Platforms and Power 
 Reporter, Wired\n\n    Faiza Patel, Senior Director, Brennan Center Liberty 
 and National Security Program\n\n    Suresh Venkatasubramanian, Professor 
 of Data Science and Computer Science, Brown University\n\n    Moderator: 
 Kareem Crayton, Vice President for Washington, DC, Brennan Center\n\n\n
