Carnegie California
Tech in Context
We examine ecosystems that inform and shape technological innovation and the political economies, geographies, and relationships that emerge in response to new developments.
Carnegie California
Carnegie California links developments in California and the West Coast with national and global conversations around technology, subnational affairs, and trans-Pacific relationships. At distance from national capitals, and located in one of the world’s great experiments in pluralist democracy, Carnegie California engages a wide array of stakeholders as partners in its research and policy engagement.
Emerging AI Policy
States and cities are at the vanguard of AI policy. In 2024, California State Bill 1047 sat at the center of the subnational debate offering the most ambitious vision yet of AI regulation, and its trajectory will continue to shape policymaking around the country into 2025.
