SPIA in DC partnered with CITP faculty to convene the first two in a series of “Princeton AI Dialogues: Expert Briefings” on Capitol Hill. One with the Senate AI Caucus and a second with the House AI Caucus. Together, the two sessions drew more than 50 participants from Republican and Democratic congressional offices and committees. Professors Arvind Narayanan and Peter Henderson, together with graduate student Sayash Kapoor, spoke to a wide range of topical issues regarding AI development and governance—open vs closed models, safety and catastrophic risk management, testing/validation/red-teaming, cybersecurity, copyright, deepfakes, watermarking and provenance, potential impacts on labor, hiring, judicial processes, children, etc. We intend to continue partnering with leading Senate and House partners to develop this into a regular vehicle for briefings, through which SPIA and Princeton faculty can offer insights on a broad range of AI policy questions now confronting Congress—education, healthcare, biotech, law, ethics, national security, etc.

CITP Fellow Kevin Munger's new book The Youtube Apparatus was published online by Cambridge University Press. This book builds on Munger's research on the supply and demand for content, analyzing fifteen years of data from political channels on YouTube. It also investigates the meta-scientific question of how we set the academic agenda--why have we spent so much time studying "algorithmic radicalization" on YouTube? It also introduces the concept of "poetic validity."
