The FPF Center for Artificial Intelligence: Navigating AI Policy, Regulation, and Governance
The rapid deployment of Artificial Intelligence for consumer, enterprise, and government uses has created challenges for policymakers, compliance experts, and regulators. AI policy stakeholders are seeking sophisticated, practical policy information and analysis.
This is where the FPF Center for Artificial Intelligence comes in, expanding FPF’s role as the leading pragmatic and trusted voice for those who seek impartial, practical analysis of the latest challenges for AI-related regulation, compliance, and ethical use.
At the FPF Center for Artificial Intelligence, we help policymakers and privacy experts at organizations, civil society, and academics navigate AI policy and governance. The Center is supported by a Leadership Council of experts from around the globe. The Council consists of members from industry, academia, civil society, and current and former policymakers.
FPF has a long history of AI-related and emerging technology policy work that has focused on data, privacy, and the responsible use of technology to mitigate harms. From FPF’s presentation to global privacy regulators about emerging AI technologies and risks in 2017 to our briefing for US Congressional members detailing the risks and mitigation strategies for AI-powered workplace tech in 2023, FPF has helped policymakers around the world better understand AI risks and opportunities while equipping data, privacy and AI experts with the information they need to develop and deploy AI responsibly in their organizations.
In 2024, FPF received a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to advance the Whitehouse Executive Order in Artificial Intelligence to support the use of Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) by government agencies and the private sector by advancing legal certainty, standardization, and equitable uses. FPF is also a member of the U.S. AI Safety Institute at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) where it focuses on assessing the policy implications of the changing nature of artificial intelligence.
Areas of work within the FPF Center for Artificial Intelligence include:
- Legislative Comparison
- Responsible AI Governance
- AI Policy by Sector
- AI Assessments & Analyses
- Novel AI Policy Issues
- AI and Privacy Enhancing Technologies
FPF’s new Center for Artificial Intelligence will be supported by a Leadership Council of leading experts from around the globe. The Council will consist of members from industry, academia, civil society, and current and former policymakers.
