In this episode of AI, Government, and the Future, host Alan Pentz is joined by Dean Ball, Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center, to discuss the current landscape of AI regulation and adoption in government. They explore the challenges of regulating a general-purpose technology, the potential pitfalls of premature legislation, and strategies for effective AI implementation in government agencies.
In this episode of AI, Government, and the Future, host Alan Pentz engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Dean Ball, Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center, about the complex landscape of AI regulation and its adoption in government.
Dean provides insights into current regulatory efforts, focusing on California's SB 1047 bill and its implications for AI model developers. He explains the challenges of creating liability frameworks for AI and argues for a more nuanced, use-based approach to regulation rather than broad model-based restrictions.
The conversation also delves into the slow adoption of AI in government sectors, with Dean offering perspectives on how to drive meaningful implementation. He emphasizes the importance of measuring success through tangible improvements in efficiency and service delivery, rather than risk mitigation alone.
