Miriam Vogel, the President and CEO of EqualAI and Chair of NAIAC, speaking in her personal capacity, highlights the critical crossroads between Congress, federal agencies and the tech industry on AI policy. 

Government policymakers, particularly at the FTC and CFPB are already evaluating the effect of artificial intelligence, while agencies like the EEOC are investigating the potential impact on civil rights laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act. Recognizing they’ve missed opportunities in the past, and armed with a greater depth and understanding of AI, Congress is rising to the occasion on a bipartisan basis in terms of exploring regulation.
