About us
The Center for American Progress is a think tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action. We combine bold policy ideas with a modern communications platform to help shape the national debate, expose the hollowness of conservative governing philosophy, and challenge the media to cover the issues that truly matter. Our work builds upon progressive ideals put forth by such leaders as Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, and Martin Luther King. We draw from the great social movements of the 20th century—from labor rights and worker safety, to civil rights and women's suffrage. We translate those values into new ideas and action firmly rooted in the economic and political realities of the 21st century.

Today, the Center for American Progress published its priorities for a national AI strategy, which I co-authored with Adam Conner. Generative AI is poised to usher in a technological revolution, and the Biden-Harris administration must take an immediate, all-of-government approach to address the challenges and opportunities of this new era. Our report offers one of the only sets of comprehensive actions for the government to immediately address AI’s impact on everything from civil rights, to jobs and national security, and outlines ways the administration can properly harness AI’s benefits to society while simultaneously mitigating its risks. https://lnkd.in/eT3JQxwt
