Artificial Intelligence Policy Expert & Technology Governance Leader; Head of AI Policy at Andreessen Horowitz; Former Head of Global Policy Development at Facebook
Matt Perault Biography
Matt Perault is a recognized authority in artificial intelligence policy in the United States. As the head of artificial intelligence policy at Andreessen Horowitz, Perault oversees the firm's policy strategy on AI and advises portfolio companies on navigating the AI policy landscape. His work centers on advancing the "Little Tech" agenda, an approach to AI regulation that emphasizes protecting startups from regulatory capture and preventing the entrenchment of large technology companies. Perault has advocated for policymakers to focus on regulating the use of AI rather than its development processes.
Perault's career spans government, industry, and academia. Before joining Facebook, he served as counsel at the Congressional Oversight Panel, worked as a consultant at the World Bank, and clerked for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. At Facebook, Perault held the position of head of global policy development, leading global public policy planning on issues such as competition, law enforcement, and human rights, and overseeing public policy for WhatsApp, Oculus, and Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research. He has testified before Congress on technology sector competitiveness.
After Facebook, Perault transitioned to academia, holding leadership roles at Duke University, where he led the Center on Science & Technology Policy and served as a professor of the practice at the Sanford School of Public Policy. He later directed the Center on Technology Policy at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, taught at the School of Information and Library Science, and consulted on technology policy at Open Water Strategies. This combination of industry and academic experience informs his perspective on technology governance and emerging technologies.
Perault remains active in technology policy, sharing recommendations with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy on advancing U.S. competitiveness in AI development. He serves as a senior fellow at the Center on Technology Policy at New York University, a board member of the North Carolina Institute of Technology Policy, a contributing editor at Lawfare, a fellow at the Abundance Institute, and a fellow at the National Security Institute at the George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School. Perault holds a law degree from Harvard Law School, a master's degree in public policy from the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University, and a bachelor's degree in political science from Brown University. His background in law, policy, and technology positions him as a leading voice in AI governance and technology policy.
