AAAI Policy Initiative

AAAI has established a new mailing list on US Policy that will focus exclusively on the discussion of US policy matters related to artificial intelligence. All members and affiliates are invited to join the list at https://aaai.org/Organization/mailing-lists.php

Participants will have the opportunity to subscribe or unsubscribe at any time. The mailing list will be moderated, and all posts will be approved before dissemination. This is a great opportunity for another productive partnership between AAAI and SIGAI policy work.
