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.

How Not to Embarrass the Future State and federal lawmakers around the country owe it to the future not to act rashly and legislate away the most promising aspects of AI.

As AI, and their risks, becomes more widespread, state legislatures are beginning to pass regulation on these new tools.
@gmdickinson.bsky.social and @kevintfrazier.bsky.social warn against "hasty and overconfident laws that burden future innovation."

What even is AI policy? What myths are contributing to disagreements over how best to govern AI? How can academics play a bigger role in these conversations (should they)?!

@gushurwitz.bsky.social (@penncareylaw.bsky.social) & Neil Chilson join @kevintfrazier.bsky.social to offer their answers.

A Framework to Govern AI Innovation There’s broad support for evidence-based AI policy. What that means in practice is a hard question. This policy framework is a path forward.

The stakes of getting AI regulation right or, at least, not wrong are high.
@kevintfrazier.bsky.social provides a policy framework that guides how states can experiment with AI governance while respecting the federal government's authority on national security and interstate commerce.
