What Bipartisan Policy Center does

The Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) is a Washington, DC–based nonprofit think tank and policy organization that works across the political spectrum to produce data-driven, practical policy solutions. BPC states that it operates at the intersection of policy development and political advocacy, and that it works with its advocacy affiliate, Bipartisan Policy Center Action (BPC Action), to turn policy ideas into congressional and policymaker action. BPC’s work includes technology and artificial intelligence policy, including AI education and workforce-focused research, as well as AI’s interactions with infrastructure and energy planning (for example, data center development).
