Brookings envisions a future where innovations in AI and emerging technologies serve humanity’s highest aspirations, promote global prosperity, and strengthen democratic institutions
The future of AI is not inevitable. Artificial intelligence is transforming how we work, learn, govern, and organize economies. But its rapid evolution often outpaces our ability to understand its full impact. Leaders face unprecedented challenges in building governance frameworks, while organizations must make critical decisions amid uncertainty. The lack of standardized methods to test, validate, and monitor AI systems across their lifecycle only deepens the complexity.
Brookings is shaping the path forward. Brookings is guiding this transformation by engaging leaders across public, corporate, and civic sectors. Through rigorous research and collaborative problem-solving, we deliver evidence-based policy recommendations to help society harness AI’s benefits while minimizing its risks.
Our Work
To help leaders address their most pressing policy challenges Brookings conducts forward-thinking AI-related research and produces actionable recommendations through rigorous, interdisciplinary analysis and insights . Leaders demand creative approaches to research and frontier thinking to stay ahead of the technology curve. This imperative drives a research agenda about AI and its limitations, capabilities, and impacts, even as they remain empirically unverifiable. This poses a critical issue: we cannot govern what we cannot measure. As a result, the technology’s potential benefits — including productivity gains, scientific discovery and improved public services — are substantial but will not be automatically realized. Decisionmakers require policy recommendations anchored in comprehensive, evidence-based research in order to deliver on the potential of truly beneficial AI – at home and around the world.
The Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology (AIET) initiative drives Brookings’ work on AI by conducting rigorous original research, convening strategic discussions, and bolstering collaboration among research centers across the institution. AIET also pro
