Places tech-policy fellows in Congress, DoD, Commerce, State, HHS, and the White House (15+ congressional placements by 2024: 9 R offices, 6 D). 'Effectively created' by Open Philanthropy (Politico, 2023); POGO and the Washington Examiner criticized funder-conflict optics as fellows draft AI law affecting Anthropic-linked interests.
