How are US states legislating on artificial intelligence, and how are they responding to the electricity demand of data centers?
A Scalable Approach to Policy Analysis
Use NLP and LLM-based techniques to analyze policy documents and legislation from state legislature sources (e.g., the National Conference of State Legislatures website), with a focus on workforce development, environmental, and energy policy.
Objectives
- Build a scalable ingestion pipeline for policy pages, PDFs, and bills with proper metadata
- Design topic and policy-area classifiers (LLM-assisted) and evaluate against expert judgments
- Summarize and compare trends across states and over time in workforce, environmental, and energy policy
- Release a reproducible pipeline and documentation
