WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Tech & Public Policy Center (TPP) at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy today announced nine new research grants supporting faculty-led projects that examine how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are reshaping public life. The awards fund work spanning criminal justice, health care, education, global governance and democratic participation, reflecting the center’s mission to serve as a catalyst for emerging issues in technology policy.
“These grants move beyond abstract debates about AI to examine how these technologies are actually being deployed, who they affect, and what guardrails are needed,” said Carole Roan Gresenz, Dean of the McCourt School of Public Policy. “Our faculty are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between technical innovation and sound public policy.”
The funded projects span three broad themes: understanding how AI systems operate within public institutions, examining public attitudes and online behaviors in an era of algorithmic influence and evaluating regulatory and governance frameworks for emerging technologies.
