Policy in Practice: AI Governance w/ Eric Hysen | UC Berkeley Exec Fellowship in Applied Tech Policy

Former DHS Chief AI Officer and CIO Eric Hysen shares what he learned studying AI adoption across 66 government jurisdictions, why your mental model of AI is already out of date, and what good tech policy looks like in the future. Hysen’s practitioner's playbook for public-sector AI governance was developed as part of UC Berkeley's Executive Fellowship in Applied Technology Policy, a groundbreaking partnership between the School of Information and the Goldman School of Public Policy.
