Adam Billen serves as the Vice President of Public Policy at Encode, where he crafts and advances our policy prorities and legislative agenda and builds bipartisan, cross-issue coalitions. Adam cares deeply about addressing both the near-term and long-term harms of AI, ensuring those priorities are reflected across our legislative work and partnerships.

Adam’s work includes advancing the DEFIANCE and TAKE IT DOWN Acts to combat deepfake nudes through the Senate, advocating for restrictions on AI’s use in nuclear weapons that made it into this year’s House/Senate NDAA compromise, and working to codify and support the AI Safety Institute.
