About this episode

Dave and Ben discuss the bipartisan support for CISA and the implications of AI as warned by the Pope.

This week, Dave and Ben sit down to discuss a growing bipartisan effort to support CISA. Throughout the conversation, the two look at how lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are showing greater support for CISA after the Trump administration cut its budget and workforce. Both Representatives Don Bacon and James Walkinshaw voiced their support for the agency, emphasizing that it was essential to protecting civilian networks and critical infrastructure. Additionally, the two look at the Pope's recent warning on AI. While this show covers legal topics, and Ben is a lawyer, the views expressed do not constitute legal advice.
