About this episode
Bradley Tusk and Bob Greenlee discuss the challenges of regulating rapidly advancing AI technology.
Can government catch up to a technology moving faster than any regulatory response ever has? Bradley and his Tusk Ventures partner Bob Greenlee work through two competing taxonomies: Bradley organized his around four areas of real impact (consumer protection, catastrophic risk, job displacement, and AI's potential to make government work better), while Bob's is built around political feasibility — what can actually get passed and when. The bracing conclusion is that landmark legislation is probably pie in the sky, which means the advantage goes to people who can keep thinking critically and asking the right questions.
