Announcing: POLITICO's Decoded Summits in Washington, D.C. and

San Francisco

A new event series defining the future of global AI and technology policy.

As the development and deployment of artificial intelligence transforms the economy and society, decisions being made today by policymakers and executives will determine who leads and who is left behind.

This fall, POLITICO will host two complementary events convening the leaders shaping the future of AI: one in Washington, D.C. where policymakers are crafting the rules of the road for AI, and one in San Francisco where the technologies driving the next wave of innovation are being built.

Each event will bring together a global mix of policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, investors and innovators for high-level conversations defining the AI era — from regulation and national security to infrastructure, energy, global competition and enterprise adoption.

With POLITICO’s unmatched authority at the intersection of power and policy, each Decoded Summit will provide audience members the opportunity to connect directly with the leaders, ideas and decisions shaping technology on a global scale.
