Both parties' voters are freaked out by AI. So what is Congress going to do about it?

It’s rare for voters from different political leanings to share feelings on the major issues of the day. But when it comes to AI, it’s pretty clear that no matter the party, Americans have a lot of apprehension around this new technology. The worries range from job security to kids’ online safety to the environmental impact of massive data centers.

This also presents a rare opportunity for policy makers in Washington to work together - across party lines - to come up with a solution.

To gauge whether that’s possible and to understand how policy makers in D.C. and state capitals around the country are thinking through these issues, Amy spoke with Ashley Gold, senior tech policy reporter at Axios and co-author of the AI+ Government newsletter. She has some really great insights into what we should expect from lawmakers and the tech industry.

We recorded this conversation on Wednesday, June 10.
