Joining him are James Czerniawski, Senior Policy Analyst at Americans for Prosperity, and Thomas Kimbrell, an Analyst with AFP Foundation, to discuss the dangers of government overreach in regulating AI, especially when the regulations target industries beyond government contractors. James and Thomas explore how the misuse of emergency powers not only hinders AI development but also creates risks for U.S. innovation in the global race against countries like China. They discuss the potential economic impact of overregulation and the need for Congress, rather than the executive branch, to take the lead on responsible AI governance.
