How to Rein in ICE and A.I.

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of artificial intelligence in law and immigration enforcement, featuring U.S. Representative Summer Lee advocating for regulatory guardrails.

Artificial intelligence is working its way into every aspect of our lives, including law and immigration enforcement, and the industry is spending millions of dollars to ensure it can continue to do so unregulated. But as evidence of bias appears in this nascent tech, this congresswoman wants to ensure we’re not just recreating our historical biases and problems all over again—which is to say, she wants guardrails.  Guest: Summer Lee , U.S. representative for Pennsylvania’s 12th district.
