In this talk, Kathy Pham draws on her 20-year career spanning technology development, writing and influencing federal public policy, teaching in academia, and venture funding to explore the creation and application of artificial intelligence, the players shaping AI, and the urgent need to strengthen the connections between technology, policy, education, and innovation
