Artificial intelligence is transforming how governments function, make deals and compete on a global scale.
Why it matters: AI policy is at the center of lawmakers' conversations, from Washington to Brussels and Beijing, and the decisions being made in the U.S. reverberate around the world.
- Federal agencies are debating not just how to regulate AI, but how to use it. State lawmakers and officials, meanwhile, aren't waiting on feds to make their own decisions.
What we'll do in the Friday edition of AI+ Government every week is help you make sense of how it's all connected, who the most important people are, and what trends are worth following.
The big picture: We've covered the rise of generative AI here in Washington closely, breaking news on the first serious conversations about it in Congress and the Biden administration's focus on AI safety.
- Recently, we've scooped key news about the Trump administration's approach to AI. We're plugged in with the people working inside and outside of the government to advance AI in the U.S.
- It's time to expand beyond D.C. as AI and tech policy grow in importance in state and international circles, with competition against China serving as the backdrop for many policy debates.
Zoom in: It's not just policymakers and top AI executives who are worth tracking.
- We're plugged into how people of all ages and socioeconomic status are affected by decisions made in the corridors of power.
- There are many stories to uncover about how AI intersects with education, the workforce, economy, health care, the environment and so much more.
The bottom line: AI+ Government will take you inside what's happening with AI policy across the globe and explore the ways governments are regulating, funding and rolling out this transformative technology.
