Ai Salon: Government and Tech
Join us for an evening of discussion as we explore a critical dynamic shaping our society and democracy: the evolving relationship between Big Tech and government, particularly in the wake of the 2024 US election.
We'll explore the below and more:
The relationship between tech companies and governments, and how that relationship might evolve in the next four years
Government's role in AI, and AI's role in government
What we can learn from past government-tech dynamics as we transition into an AI future
