GEOU Embedding Ethics for Career Training in the Governance of AI

This project pilots innovative, replicable workshops on AI & Ethics for 3 nationally recognized D.C. fellowship programs that provide training and work placements for government careers in technology policy. The project was aimed at early-career fellowships that recruit and support technologists and policy analysts toward careers in government. We invited a cohort of approximately 35 fellows from CSET (~20 fellows/analysts), TechCongress (~8 fellows), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) (~10 fellows). After we transitioned to a fully virtual mode in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we also invited students from Georgetown Law Center’s new Master of Law & Technology graduate program to participate. Our project goal was to help participants deepen their awareness of ethical complexities relating to AI technologies while forming new professional and personal connections across programs.
