INVITATION: AI Policy & Practice Forum

[Rockefeller Institute of Government]

Join us for a forum examining how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping society and the policy questions that follow from its development and use.

You Are Invited KEYNOTE SPEAKER Eleonore Fournier-Tombs Chief AI Officer NYS Office of Information Technology Services Join the Rockefeller Institute of Government and the University at Albany's AI & Society Research Center for a forum on AI Policy & Practice. Artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in the systems that shape institutions, decision-making, and public life. Conversations about its development and governance are advancing rapidly across academia, government, and industry, but often without meaningful synthesis across these areas. This full-day forum is designed to engage across those domains. Featuring a curated program of panel discussions, research presentations, and networking opportunities, the event brings together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working on AI in health, education, governance, and ethics for an engaging, action-guiding discussion. The program is designed to strengthen connections between research, policy, and implementation, supporting more coherent and effective approaches to how AI is developed, governed, and used.   Date Thursday, April 23, 2026 Time 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (ET) Location Rockefeller Institute of Government 411 State St., Albany, NY 12203   Learn More & Register   About the AI & Society Research Center The AI & Society Research Center at the University at Albany is a cross-disciplinary research hub focused on the human and societal dimensions of artificial intelligence.
