The American Historical Association (AHA) will host a Congressional Briefing<\/a> offering historical perspectives on artificial intelligence. The briefing will take place on Friday, February 27, at 9:00 a.m. in Rayburn House Office Building Room 2075.<\/p>\n

Panelists Ekaterina Babintseva<\/a> (Purdue Univ.), Sarah Igo<\/a> (Vanderbilt Univ.), Aaron Mendon-Plasek<\/a> (Purdue Univ.), and Rebecca Slayton<\/a> (Cornell Univ.) will provide historical context on privacy and national security issues that have been transformed by technology and now AI. Kathryn Cramer Brownell<\/a> (Purdue Univ.) will serve as moderator.<\/p>\n

This briefing was originally scheduled for October 29, 2025. Due to the government shutdown, the in-person briefing was postponed and the panelists recorded a webinar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The AHA\u2019s Congressional Briefings series seeks to provide Congressional staff members, journalists, and other members of the policy community with the historical context essential to understanding contemporary issues. The sessions are strictly nonpartisan and avoid advancing particular policy prescriptions or legislative agendas.<\/p>\n

The AHA is grateful to the Center for American Political History and Technology (CAPT) at Purdue<\/span> University for their generous support of this briefing.<\/em><\/p>\n
