Involvement and Impact
Research groups with members hosted by WAISI for speaker events:
- 9 WAISI members flew out to DC to participate in a Congressional Exhibition on Advanced AI, hosted by the Center for AI Policy (CAIP).
- One of our members contributed to Wisconsin's 2023 Assembly Bill 664, which requires disclosing AI-generated material in political ads.
- We've hosted speakers from Google DeepMind, Anthropic, Model Evaluation and Threat Research (METR), the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), and the Horizon Institute for Public Service.
- We have members in 12 research labs on campus. Learn more below.
