Episode notes
Urgency in AI Regulation
- Regulating AI cautiously is essential to protect children from addictive and harmful content.
- A federal moratorium on state AI laws risks removing vital safety measures without federal standards.
States Need AI Regulation Power
- Blocking states from regulating AI removes important protections without a national standard to replace them.
- Federal regulation should create standards, not simply stop state-level AI safeguards.
Public Media Funding Importance
- Cutting federal funding for NPR and PBS could reduce quality local programming and emergency communication infrastructure.
- Funding supports diverse national programs like classical music and news essential to public radio stations.
