Encode is mobilizing policymakers and the public to ensure AI benefits society.
Some examples of our work:
- Hosting weeks of action in Washington, D.C. to lobby on Capitol Hill
- Leading AI literacy workshops for underserved youth in partnership with Chicago Youth Centers
- Drafting and disseminating 7 policy memos detailing AI’s societal impacts and our recommendations for congressional action with the support of our AI Issue Advisory Council (take a look here!)
- Testifying before state legislatures and city councils in support of restrictions on public use of facial recognition technology
