Episode Description from the Publisher

From CEOs to members of Congress, there have been growing calls for artificial intelligence to be regulated. Major interviews California Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu about his legislation that would require the Department of Homeland Security to provide a "kill switch" for any malicious AI software. It's been more than two years since Paul Whelan was released to the states, after being wrongfully detained in Russia. He is partnering with Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens on a bill that would help those wrongfully detained in other countries re-adjust to their new lives. Plus, Utah Governor Spencer Cox is on to discuss his new book, "Off Ramp: How to Be a Peacemaker in an Age of Contempt." He explains his stance on artificial intelligence, as well as his reflection on the 1-year commemoration of Charlie Kirk's death. All that and more, right here on The Takeout.
