As artificial intelligence is expected to have a dramatic influence on our world in the coming decades, it's increasingly urgent to develop policies for governments and corporations to reduce risks from advanced AI. During the hackathon, your team of 1–4 people will write and present a brief policy memo. There will also be workshops to help you deepen your understanding of AI governance, effective policy research and writing, and other crucial skills.
If you have any questions, feel free to email us at hello@eagatech.org.
