Episode Summary

On Monday, Oct. 30, President Biden released a sweeping executive order that addresses many risks of artificial intelligence. Tom Wheeler, former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, shares his insights on the order with Tristan and Aza and discusses what’s next in the push toward AI regulation. Clarification: When quoting Thomas Jefferson, Aza incorrectly says “regime” instead of “regimen.” The correct quote is: “I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. And as that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered, and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regime of their barbarous ancestors.” RECOMMENDED MEDIA The AI Executive OrderPresident Biden’s Executive Order on the safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of AIUK AI Safety SummitThe summit brings together international governments, leading AI companies, civil society groups, and experts in research to consider the risks of AI and discuss how they can be mitigated through internationally coordinated actionaitreaty.orgAn open letter calling for an international AI treatyTechlash: Who Makes the Rules in the Digital Gilded Age?Praised by Kirkus Reviews as “a rock-solid plan for controlling the tech giants,” readers will be energized by Tom Wheeler’s vision of digital governance RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESInside the First AI Insight Forum in WashingtonDigital Democracy is Within Reach with Audrey TangThe AI DilemmaYour Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.
