Meridian International Center’s Tech Labs is an interactive six-week seminar that connects government employees with leading tech experts who ground AI trends in real-world applications.
The Advanced Labs build on the foundations from the introductory Labs. The experts leading this lab go beyond those initial learnings, to provide deeper insights into AI at the intersection of cybersecurity, scientific discovery, economic impacts, safety, and synthetic media (deepfakes).
