The Regulation of AI

In this episode, John talks with Courtney Bowman, the Global Director of Privacy and Civil Liberties Engineering at Palantir Technologies, about the challenges of regulating AI technology. They discuss the need for regulatory regimes to address the different types of AI technologies in use today, including facial recognition, lending and insurance decision-making, healthcare tracking, and genetic sequencing, among other applications.  They also discuss the different approaches to AI regulation in the US and the EU and whether the law should be all-encompassing or targeted to specific technological contexts. Finally, they discuss how businesses should proceed now before future AI regulations have taken their final form.
