  Questions to consider:

What are the key developments in AI policy over the past year?
What are the new challenges ahead?  
What do polls show about American attitudes toward AI?
How do we elevate communities in the AI policy process?
What are the significant AI policy initiatives in the US and the EU?
How do we promote innovations and safeguard democratic values, the rule of law, and fundamental rights
Are there areas of convergence, particularly for the EU and the US?
