About FPF and the Center for Artificial Intelligence

FPF works to advance responsible data practices. Staffed with experts in law, technology, and public policy, FPF operates on the belief that technological innovation and new uses of data can help solve big societal problems and improve lives.

The team focuses deeply on AI-specific technical, operational, and policy issues, such as AI agents, identifiability within the AI lifecycle, and global multi-jurisdictional AI risk management and governance.
