Matt Middlestead, a technology policy research fellow at the Cato Institute, dives into the chilling implications of U.S. AI regulation. He critiques the conflicting messages from officials about promoting innovation while also imposing strict regulations. The conversation highlights risks associated with requiring U.S.-made chips for AI software, which could complicate global supply chains. Middlestead warns that attempts to eliminate ideological bias from AI may stifle creativity and warns against following Europe’s cautious regulatory path.
