Adam Schiff on AI regulation, free speech, and impeaching Trump one more time

Regulating artificial intelligence requires a robust, expert-led agency capable of navigating rapid technological shifts, as voluntary industry pledges remain insufficient to address systemic national security and societal risks. The Supreme Court’s overturning of *Chevron* deference complicates this effort, forcing Congress to draft highly specific legislation to prevent corporate interests from stalling oversight through litigation. Beyond AI, the current political landscape suffers from rampant corruption and corporate influence, where campaign finance and self-dealing distort policy decisions, from media mergers to government contracts. Addressing these issues demands a fundamental realignment of the tax code and a renewed commitment to the workforce, ensuring technology serves the public interest rather than maximizing shareholder value. Government must move beyond reactive measures to establish enforceable standards that protect individual privacy and the dignity of labor in an increasingly automated economy.
