Axios reported that alumni of the Obama and Biden administrations launched the American Innovation Policy Forum to define a center-left AI policy agenda ahead of 2028. The group plans listening sessions on community concerns, policy recommendations, and fall briefings for lawmakers, with data centers and AI regulation both in scope.

What to watch
The announced fellows, whether listening sessions produce specific rules on data centers, labor, safety, and procurement, whether candidates adopt the group's proposals, and whether the agenda survives pressure from tech donors and local infrastructure fights.
