About

The Technology & Innovation Policy Team works to promote local, state and federal policies, programs and funding that further technological innovation and scientific advancements. This work is focused on but not limited to issues in data privacy, cyber security, autonomous vehicles, AI, broader scientific funding, and skilled immigration.

We also work to communicate with policymakers on these issues, educate them on the benefits of emerging technology, and address the concerns they may have about the implications of emerging tech and policies related to it.
