The Fight to Regulate AI with Congressman Ro Khanna

This week I sat down with Congressman Ro Khanna (D), who represents Silicon Valley's 17th District, to talk honestly about where Washington actually stands on AI right now.We got into regulation, job displacement, data center sprawl, and whether Congress can realistically keep pace with how fast this technology is moving. But more than the policy stuff, I wanted to understand how he thinks about framing AI risk without it just becoming another culture war flashpoint — and what he believes founders and citizens actually owe each other in this moment.About Rep.
