Are We Even Having the Right Conversation About AI Regulation?
Tech companies would love nothing more than to regulate themselves. The Standards Authority for Frontier AI (SAFA) is just the latest attempt for AI companies to take safety into their own hands, yet it’s hardly a substitute for real government oversight. Tech Counsel at Protect Democracy Mackenzie Austin joins David Rothkopf to explain why the public needs to be involved in AI governance and why the next year will be pivotal in deciding who controls AI development.

Is AI Moving Too Fast for Government or Media to Keep Up?
The midterms are just over a week away and for the first time, artificial intelligence will play a major role in motivating voters. Data centers have become a major point of concern across party and state lines. Jeff Jarvis joins David Rothkopf to ask the question: is AI too quick for our government and media to hold accountable? As oligarchs and major companies move to self-regulate, the answer is sobering.

The Democrats’ Plan to Get AI Right
The midterms are only a few weeks away and, with any luck, Democrats will ride a blue wave back into power. While there are a great many issues to grapple with, none are more pressing or existential than artificial intelligence. So what exactly is the Democrats’ plan to effectively legislate AI? Congressman Don Beyer, co-chair of Congress’s bipartisan Artificial Intelligence Caucus, joins David Rothkopf to examine what Democrats in Congress must do to rein in the far-reaching effects of the AI revolution.

How Can Democracy Survive the Age of AI?
There is a lot to question when it comes to the future of AI. But what does the AI boom mean for the future of our democracy? David Rothkopf and political scientist Dave Karp of George Washington University examine how AI, billionaire media ownership, and campaign finance are concentrating power and weakening democracy. They explore the collapse of shared information, the influence of algorithms and personalized news, why political messaging increasingly fails to reach the public, and what some possible solutions might be to all of this.

With AI, are We Walking the Dog or is the Dog Walking Us?
As AI systems become more autonomous and are delegated more and more power across industries, we have to ask ourselves: are we walking the dog, or is the dog walking us? Is voluntary self-regulation really enough, or is it high time for legislators to get serious about reigning things in before the problem becomes too big to solve? CEO of CAS Strategies Camille Stewart Gloster joins us to discuss her new book The Insider You Built and explore why sensible regulation is sorely needed and more.

Getting a Grip When It Comes to AI Dread
AI dread has spread. Even CEOs of major AI companies are forecasting doom and gloom, including the potential end of mankind. But how much of what they say is an honest appraisal, and how much is driven by ulterior motives? NYU’s Paul Barrett joins David Rothkopf to discuss his recent piece for Tech Policy Press and explain why we can’t let doomer CEOs or competition with China distract from sensible AI regulation.

Why Is Trump Ok With AI Armageddon?
Top AI researchers seem to be increasingly convinced that AI is about to kill us all, so why isn’t our President more concerned? After an Anthropic researcher quit the company warning that continued AI development could end the world, Trump brushed off worries over AI attributing concerns to a “sick conspiracy.” Alondra Nelson of the Institute of Advanced Study joins David Rothkopf to analyze where the truth really lies and how concerned we should all really be about an AI armageddon.

The Wake Up Call Coming for AI VCs and Silicon Valley
Venture capitalists and Silicon Valley have been riding high on the artificial intelligence wave. Yet with this runaway enthusiasm comes the risk for an even more calamitous bubble burst. Newcomer founder Eric Newcomer joins David Rothkopf to discuss why a reality check is much needed. They also explore Silicon Valley’s dramatic political shift, the growing public skepticism towards the tech oligarchs, and more.
