Welcome to Policy Gradients

Needs, wants, and solutions to AI and energy.

What this is

Policy Gradients is about the power of artificial intelligence. That means the power of transformative AI. That also means the electric power for running AI. Many of us live in one of these niches but not the other. All aboard—we’ll dedicate some brainspace to both.

Who I am

I’m Daniel King, a research fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI). This publication is supported by FAI. Views are my own.

What you’ll find

• Analysis of the latest data center developments. I explain how it matters.

• Grid policy for building tomorrow’s AI factories: proposals, pros, and cons.

• A forward look at AI in American society and how we can shape that future.
