in the U.S., hosted by EPIC - Electronic Privacy Information Center at the
National Press Club, 529 14th St. NW, WDC 20045. The rise of AI has
already begun to challenge fundamental rights of fairness, accountability, and
transparency. AI by the public and private sector can mean real life
consequences for people in employment, housing, credit, commerce, and criminal
sentencing. At the same time, AI promises economic and social prosperity across
many fields. The U.S. is building an AI policy through Executive Order,
legislative proposals, and engagement on the international stage. This event
will explore the future AI policy in the U.S. How should the U.S. address human
rights challenges of AI domestically and abroad? What should the U.S. role in
AI be on the international stage? Around what principles for AI has U.S.
policymaking begun to converge? The panel discussion will include Sherry
Turkle, Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of the Social Studies of Science and
Technology at MIT. Contact EPIC Administrative Director Gerald Tan at

– Nearly
18 years after U.S. forces invaded Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11, the
Afghan conflict has become America’s longest and costliest war. Yet
today, the Taliban is stronger and controls more territory than at
any time since 2001. FCNL is committed to ending war and the threat of
all war. See a screening of the 2019 film, "An Endless War? Getting Out of
Afghanistan," sponsored by the FCNL Education Fund., on Thurs., June 6 at
5 PM in the U.S. House of Representatives, 2044 Rayburn House Office
Building. Food and drinks will be served. RSVP at https://act.fcnl.org/event/national-events/998/?akid=10110.152065.lYRUew&rd=1&t=10&utm_campaign=lam&utm_medium=email&utm_source=ak.
The film features interviews with former commanding officers of the U.S.
military, veterans, political analysts, and peace activists—including FCNL’s
own Shukria Dellawar, Legislative Representative for the Prevention of Violent
Conflict. It deconstructs the reasons the war has failed and explores how the
conflict can be ended. The screening will be followed by a
discussion with the filmmaker and experts featured in the film.
