System Prompt  >_  Future in Focus Speaker Series

AI policy is being actively shaped in real time across federal agencies, state legislatures, and industry. Yet too often, the most important conversations remain siloed, reactive, or inaccessible to cross-sector dialogue.

 

The A-I Policy Forum's System Prompt: Future in Focus Conversation Series convenes leading thinkers and policy influencers from civil society, government, academia, and industry to explore the technological breakthroughs, governance challenges, and public priorities that will define how artificial intelligence shapes our lives, our economy, and our society.

 

This is where early ideas are surfaced, assumptions are challenged, and practical insight is translated into policy-relevant understanding – in a casual, low stakes, high trust environment.

 

Series Format: Prompt → Loop → Signal

 

• The Prompt: Each session kicks off with a high-impact, expert-led provocation unpacking a timely AI policy or technical development (30 minutes max), designed to surface new insights, challenge outdated assumptions, and advance innovative approaches to AI’s governance challenges and opportunities.

• The Loop: The conversation then opens into a relaxed happy hour, creating space for candid dialogue, new connections, and collaborative exploration.

• The Signal: Attendees can expect open dialogue, new connections, and ideas in motion as we explore how to build an AI-enabled future that works for everyone.
