AI may very well be the most transformative technology of our century, but who should regulate it? Is it the job of Sacramento or Washington? Can Congress prohibit states from passing local laws on AI and what exciting new constitutional issues are raised? In the wake of the President's recent Executive Order on AI and the fury of state-level AI legislation in California and New York, these questions have never been more pressing. Join Kevin Frazier (AI Innovation & Law Fellow at the University of Texas) and Charlie Bullock (Institute for Law & AI Senior Fellow) at the Berkman Klein Center for a lively debate panel.
Lunch will be provided and substantial time will be reserved for Q&A.
