Remarkable improvements in artificial intelligence are forcing us to reassess our government, our economy, and ourselves. Boosters see an opportunity to empower individual creators and circumvent sclerotic industry gatekeepers. Many creators are already using AI to hone their craft, test new concepts, and reach new audiences.

But skeptics see another possibility: that AI will stifle creativity by strengthening the most powerful corporations. Artists’ work is being used without license to teach AI models. AI platforms have produced works inspired by human creators without attribution. And as the recent writers strike shows, many fear that media companies will use AI to replace human creators altogether.

How can we channel AI so that it strengthens individual agency? What are potential artistic and public interest applications of AI, and what policies and incentives do we need to make those applications succeed?

Join the Foundation for American Innovation in Washington, DC on Wednesday, November 1 at 6:00 p.m., as we develop a pro-human approach to AI.

We have the power to create an abundant future for humanity. But instead, we’ve clogged up every path to progress with red tape and vetocracy.

As humans with agency, we can build the future we want. But progress is neither inevitable nor one-dimensional. To realize that future—with abundant clean energy, inexpensive housing, human-centered artificial intelligence, and mastery of synthetic biology—we must simultaneously avoid complacency about our potential and fatalism about risks. We must identify and break through the bottlenecks that are holding us back.

The inaugural Bottlenecks Summit is an invitation-only unconference bringing together thinkers, builders, creators and policy entrepreneurs working to overcome bottlenecks to human progress and abundance. The event will take place on Friday, September 6, 2024 in San Francisco, California.

An invitation-only gathering bringing together founders, artists, policy entrepreneurs, and builders working to overcome the obstacles to an abundant future.
