Breaking Into AI Policy: My Unfiltered Journey & Advice

from Frequency Shift Keying · host Vayb

AI policy is an exciting but messy, ever-evolving space—so how do you break in? In this first episode of the Frequency Shift Keying audio series, I share my journey into AI policy, governance, and ethics. From my first AI policy class in 2017 to navigating think tanks, civil society, and academia, I reflect on what it takes to enter this field. Do you need a technical background? Is a degree in AI ethics worth it? How do you actually get in the room where decisions happen? I answer these questions candidly, while also unpacking the challenges of working in this ecosystem—from institutional gatekeeping to finding your own voice in a field shaped by power. If you’re curious about AI policy, wondering where to start, or just want to hear a brutally honest take, this episode is for you. Let’s talk AI, policy, and the realities of making a career in this space.
