Director Kelly will discuss the U.S. AISI’s recently released Strategic Vision, its activities under President Biden’s AI Executive Order, and its approach to the AISI global network announced at the AI Seoul Summit.
Prior to becoming Director of the U.S. AISI, Elizabeth served as a Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy at the White House National Economic Council, where she was a driving force behind President Biden’s AI EO.
This event is made possible by general support to CSIS.
