How do I get into DC AI policy/safety? (Panel Discussion)

Join us for a panel on getting into DC AI policy/safety.

You have the desire, but you're wondering - do I even have anything to offer?

Whether you’re just graduating, well into a (seemingly) unrelated career, or already working on AI safety in Berkeley.

Topics we'll explore:

• How does a new graduate demonstrate good judgment without much of a track record?
• If you’ve built a career far removed from AI, how do you find out which parts of your experience DC actually needs? Is a junior role worth the loss of seniority or pay?
• How do I restructure my resume to emphasize what matters?
• If you already work in AI safety/governance, where would that experience be useful? Congress, an agency, a think tank? What would you actually be doing?
• How do people make this career move in practice? Should you apply directly, pursue a fellowship, or get introduced to particular offices? Who should you be talking to?

We’ll discuss where you could be useful and how to get there:

• Which organizations and job titles to look for
• What would make you a credible applicant,
• And honestly talk about whether DC AI policy/safety should be your next career step
