I had the great pleasure of meeting Kiri Wagstaff at the AAAI conference in Vancouver this year, and she immediately impressed me with her knowledge of both the techy side of AI and US policy surrounding AI regulation. Turns out she's doing a 1-year AAAS congressional fellowship and has moved to DC to help inform AI policy. There's a fascinating story behind it all. You can read my Q&A with her here:

PS - interestingly, Kiri declined to have our interview transcribed using OtterAI, out of concern about how they might use the uploaded data for training their AI. I have added a "data disclosure" line to my email signature now, saying "I correspond on Gmail, do most interviews on Zoom, record with permission, and transcribe using OtterAI."
