The anxiety Americans feel about AI is real and demands a substantive answer to the question of "what's next," writes Kevin Frazier. Reforms to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to improve the nation’s workforce development programs should be a part of that answer, he says.

The demand for quality economic analysis of AI on jobs is quite high. Supply, on the other hand, is often lacking.

Steven Adler, who previously served on several safety-related teams at OpenAI, joins @kevintfrazier.bsky.social to analyze the current state of AI safety -- what it means, why it matters, and where it's headed.
Whether/how/when to regulate Big Tech is the regulatory puzzle that keeps policymakers up at night.

A 10% stake in Intel may be the start of a new approach to industrial policy. Rumor has it defense contractors may be next.
What's the policy rationale for the US Govt seeking equity in private firms? And, perhaps more importantly, is it legal?
@petereharrell.bsky.social joins the pod.
What's the legal authority for the Intel deal?
- CHIPS Act?
- DPA?
- Both?
- Neither?
Big thanks to @petereharrell.bsky.social for joining @scalinglaws.bsky.social to help answer this question & explore the larger policy implications of this announcement.

"The US can reach AGI or develop ASI. But if the general public doesn't know how to use it, it's not very valuable. And so I just think centering on this AI literacy conversation is so essential."
That's why Rebecca is working so hard with the Brookings Global Task Force on AI in Education.
"The idea of a teacher at the front of class teaching everybody in a time-based system doesn't work." That conclusion spurred MacKenzie to launch a new model, an AI-driven model.
Depending on your POV, it's a model to follow or a sign that we've gone too far. What do you think?
School is back in session.
How to use AI is on the syllabus, on the PTA agenda, and on the minds of policymakers, admin, and students.
That's why you won't want to miss this episode with MacKenzie Price (Alpha School) and @drrebeccawinthrop.bsky.social (@brookings.edu).
The AI Action Plan marked a policy pivot toward open source as a way to accelerate AI.
What's that mean in practice?
