EXTERN PROGRAM

CAIDP Externships

 

CAIDP provides the opportunity for full-time students in law, computer science, or public policy to work with the Center during the Semester for academic credit or during the summer. Typical externships include intensive work in AI policy research and analysis, as well as the opportunity to connect with experts and leaders in the AI policy field. CAIDP externs have participated in meetings with Members of the European Parliament, and drafted AI policy recommendations for the Council on Foreign  Relations, the European Law Institute, the Global Partnership on AI, the Global Privacy Assembly, the US Office of Science and Technology Policy, and others.

 

CAIDP has partnered with Campbell Law School, Duke Law School, Georgetown Law, Harvard Law School, Stanford Law School, and TU Wien for externship opportunities. We welcome other partnerships. Interested applicants should send a letter of interest, a CV, and a relevant writing sample to Marc Rotenberg. Institutions may also contact Marc for further information about the program. Listings in Externship Directories are appreciated. Externships may be conducted remotely or at the CAIDP offices in Washington, DC.
