The policy opportunities and challenges related to emerging technology are interdisciplinary and will require talent from a range of backgrounds and communities, including many that don\u2019t have ready access to information about what policy work is like and what a career transition might look like. As a result, this series will cover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Examples of individuals with non-traditional (e.g. technical or legal) backgrounds transitioning into emerging technology policy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examples of what a \u201cday in a life\u201d is like at a think tank, advocacy organization, executive agency, or in Congress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examples of ongoing policy efforts and debates related to AI or biosecurity policy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-34ln\">All sessions will involve interactive conversations with experienced policy practitioners and opportunities for audience questions. Some of the sessions will be useful for individuals from all fields and career stages, while others are more focused \u2014 you may choose to attend all or only some of the sessions.
