The Center for Information Technology Policy (CITP) is an interdisciplinary center at Princeton University that is a nexus of expertise in technology, engineering, public policy and the social sciences. CITP seeks to translate technical expertise into public policy and social impact and to connect and train technology policy experts. Programmatically, it achieves this through a portfolio of varied activities including: 1) interdisciplinary research; 2) translating technological research into information and tools useful for policymakers, advocates and citizens, through public events, open source software, and accessible, written materials, such as policy papers and blog posts; and, 3) the hosting of interdisciplinary conferences and workshops covening academics, advocates, government officials and industry, and hosting visiting faculty, fellows, and postdocs. The grant provides general support to CITP as it deepens its work addressing issues at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and public policy in an effort to help advance AI in the public interest.
