A Pro Human AI Agenda (ft. Max Bodach)

About this episode

Nick and Max Bodach discuss a pro-human approach to AI and the importance of conservative involvement in AI regulation.

Nick sits down with Max Bodach, Executive Vice President of the Foundation for American Innovation, for a wide-ranging conversation on what a pro-human approach to AI actually looks like, breaking down why conservatives need to be at the table when these decisions get made. They cover the full spectrum of AI opinion — from the accelerationists who want to let it rip, to the Doomers who want to shut it all down — and make the case for a sober, conservative middle path. They also dig into the federalism fight over state AI regulation, the backlash against data center build-outs, what AI is actually going to do to your job, and why most people who are skeptical of AI are working off a mental model that is already two years out of date. This is a great episode for everyone trying to get up to speed on the current interaction between AI and politics.
