America's Youth AI Festival: National AI Policy

AASA, The School Superintendents Association · · International · AI Governance

AASA, The School Superintendents Association, is involved in America's Youth AI Festival, an initiative connecting young people to national AI policy conversations. The effort appears aimed at engaging students in discussions about how AI will be governed at the federal level.

That framing will stick.
