On December 2, the AI Adoption Initiative hosted a happy hour near the White House in Washington, DC. Experts shared insights and discussed the lessons learned from AIAI workshops held in New York, Paris, Tokyo, Singapore, Melbourne, and more over the past year. A core part of AIAI’s mission is to bring policymakers, civil society experts, and industry leaders together to network and discuss opportunities to accelerate responsible AI adoption. We look forward to hosting additional events in Washington and other global capitals in 2026.
