Devan Patel

Artificial intelligence is not primarily a technology problem. It is a question about what it means to be human.

I work at the place where law, faith, and technology converge. I've drafted legislation adopted into federal law, convened faith leaders and industry figures at the Vatican to forge international AI ethics principles, and spent a decade building the relationships in Washington that turn ideas into outcomes.
