Abstract to be announced. Alondra Nelson is the Harold F. Linder Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and a distinguished senior fellow at the Centre for American Progress. A former deputy assistant to President Joe Biden, she served as acting director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). Nelson’s work at OSTP drove Biden-Harris Administration strategy to generate policy that expands economic opportunity and ensures emerging science and technologies work for, not against, our democratic values. During her time at OSTP, Nelson led a team writing the landmark Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, which lays the groundwork for policymakers, technology developers, and others to better safeguard people’s rights as algorithms and AI reach further into our lives. Including her in the list of “Ten People Who Shaped Science in 2022”, Nature said of Nelson’s OSTP tenure, “this social scientist made strides for equality, integrity, and open access.”
