Artificial Intelligence Policy — Skyline Capitol

Practice Areas

Artificial Intelligence

AI policy is the most consequential legislative debate of this decade — and it's being written right now. Skyline Capitol brings firsthand legislative experience and a genuine point of view to help clients shape the rules before they become constraints.

"The window to shape AI policy is open right now. In five years, the frameworks will be set. The organizations engaging today will have a fundamentally different outcome than those who wait."

Artificial intelligence is moving faster than Congress, which means the organizations that engage early — building relationships, educating members, and shaping the legislative narrative — have an outsized opportunity to influence the outcome. Skyline Capitol has been in these conversations since before most firms understood the stakes. We bring policy depth, legislative relationships, and a genuine perspective on how AI governance should be structured.

What We Do

We help technology companies, research institutions, and industry coalitions engage the AI policy debate at the federal and state level — from shaping legislation to building the coalitions that define what responsible AI governance looks like.

  • Federal AI legislation monitoring, analysis, and proactive engagement strategy
  • Congressional testimony preparation and member education on AI issues
  • State-level AI policy engagement — including first-mover state legislation
  • AI governance framework development and industry standards advocacy
  • Executive branch and agency engagement — OSTP, NIST, FTC, and sector regulators
  • AI coalition building — uniting technology companies, civil society, and academic voices
  • National security AI policy — defense applications, dual-use concerns, and export controls

Leading the AI Policy Conversation — Not Following It

While most lobbying firms are just beginning to understand AI policy, Skyline Capitol's principals have been active participants in shaping it. From state-level legislation to national op-ed commentary, we bring a perspective earned through actual engagement — not observation.

01

Utah AI Transparency Act

Engaged in shaping one of the first state-level AI transparency frameworks in the nation — establishing disclosure requirements for AI-generated content and creating a model for other states to follow.

02

National Security AI Oversight

Through service on the House Intelligence Committee, our president brings a classified-level understanding of how AI intersects with national security — informing our approach to defense AI, autonomous systems, and dual-use technology policy.

03

AI Governance Framework Advocacy

Actively engaged in the debate over federal AI governance frameworks — advocating for approaches that enable American innovation while establishing the guardrails that build public trust and prevent regulatory overreach.

Our Approach

AI policy moves at the speed of the technology — which means the standard government affairs playbook doesn't work. We bring speed, depth, and genuine conviction to every engagement.

01

Policy Before It Hardens

The best time to shape AI legislation is before the markup, before the hearing, before the narrative calcifies. We engage our clients at the earliest stages of the policy process — when one well-placed perspective can shift the entire trajectory of a bill.

02

Technical Credibility

AI policy debates fail when the policy side doesn't understand the technology and the technology side doesn't understand policy. We bridge that gap — translating complex technical realities into legislative language that members and staff can act on.

03

A Genuine Point of View

We don't just represent clients in the AI debate — we have a perspective on how it should be resolved. That gives us credibility with policymakers that pure-advocacy firms lack. Members trust advisors who have thought deeply about the issue, not just the client's position.
