About

Grahm Gaydos is pursuing research at the intersection of state digital innovation, emerging technology governance, and frontier technology policy, with a particular interest in the role of state capacity in policy and decision-making. Grahm has extensive previous experience working in both government and civil society, contributing to digital transformation at the local, state, and national level in the United States. His work has also had an international impact; Grahm has spoken on the floor of the United Nations on information and communications technologies. Grahm has also authored a formative report on generative artificial intelligence use in government and the democracy support sector on behalf of London’s Westminster Foundation for Democracy, and has played a substantive role in crafting frontier technology policies within both NGOs and government.

Grahm is a graduate of Williams College, holding a BA in Political Science with minors in Science & Technology and Leadership Studies. His capstone thesis examined how private-public partnerships and the federal procurement process contributed to the 2013 healthcare.gov failure in the United States.
