Bridging AI Development and Policy is a multi-event series hosted at TinkerSpace designed to connect AI developers, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss governance, ethics, and responsible AI practices. The rapid advancement of AI outpaces regulatory frameworks, creating a critical gap between AI developers and policymakers. The World Economic Forum highlights that policymakers struggle to regulate AI effectively due to a lack of technical understanding, while developers often overlook the broader societal implications of AI systems.
