About Forward Progress USA
Why AI. Why now.
Forward Progress USA helps young people understand artificial intelligence and shape the policies and leaders that will define its future.
Why now
AI is the defining issue of our time.
A market this size will touch almost every industry. The rules written in the next two years will decide who that change works for.
With AI’s enormous impact, our nation’s lawmakers need to pass common sense, pragmatic policy that helps us make a smooth transition into this new era. Most strategic policymakers believe they have 18 to 24 months to set guardrails and change who controls AI.
That means we need to get involved now. We educate and prepare young people for the future of AI, and we advocate for policies and politicians that can shape a future where AI expands opportunity, protects freedoms, and strengthens our economy.
Our mission
Empower young people to navigate an AI-shaped future through education and preparation, while advocating for responsible, human-first AI policy.
