Broadband Breakfast on July 23, 2025 - The Politics of Artificial Intelligence
How can we expect to see regulations on artificial intelligence evolve over time?
Artificial Intelligence is now also becoming a subject of political division. The politics of AI is akin to the politics of information technology, 20 years ago: Everyone says they want the advances promised by AI. But there are clearly tensions, as demonstrated by a proposed 10-year moratorium on state laws, stripped at the last minute from the budget bill. This Broadband Live segment will consider questions about who speaks for AI: Will states charge forward? How long will it take for a federal preemption law to follow? Do “accelerationists” still have the upper hand in the Trump administration? Or will concerns about AI safety, deepfakes and technology “alignment” gather steam?
