Episode Description from the Publisher

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Who should regulate artificial intelligence? As AI advances at breathtaking speed, the debate over who should set the guardrails is intensifying. Michael explores the choices: federal regulation, state-by-state rules, oversight by AI companies themselves, or no regulation at all. The discussion features arguments from former cyber czar Richard Clarke and Cato Institute policy expert Jennifer Huddleston, plus insight from former NATO Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis’ case for federal oversight. From fears of deceptive AI behavior to concerns that regulation could stifle innovation, this episode examines the stakes behind one of technology’s most urgent policy debates.
