The Institute for AI Policy and Strategy Welcomes Jennifer Marron as Director of Policy and Engagement

We are excited to announce that Jenny Marron has joined IAPS as our new Director of Policy and Engagement. Bringing an extensive background in foreign policy, national security, and bipartisan engagement, Jenny is well-positioned to advance IAPS’ mission of bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and sound policy for AI governance.

Jenny previously served at the White House National Security Council (NSC) and held several roles within the Department of State from 2010-2019. There she led teams focused on violence mitigation, conflict stabilization, and the application of data analysis to monitor global instability. With her expertise, Jenny will play a critical role in expanding our outreach and partnerships with stakeholders. Her leadership will help foster practical insights and informed dialogue on AI safety, aiding policymakers, civil society, technology leaders, and the general public in navigating this rapidly evolving field.

"IAPS strives to provide stakeholders – from the government to the public – with the insights they need to understand the benefits and risks of AI. Our goal is to promote safety, security, innovation, and American competitiveness in this transformative technology that impacts us all,” said Peter Wildeford, Chief Advisory Executive of IAPS.

“With Jenny’s direction, we look forward to deepening engagement with our thoughtful research and contributing to constructive conversations on this important issue.”

Please join us in welcoming Jenny to IAPS!
