California is leading the way with a comprehensive structure for vetting AI solutions used by the state. While excessive regulation could stifle innovation, the right frameworks will build vital public trust as AI becomes more widespread. Check out the full episode with Jennifer Saha, CEO of Golden Bridge Strategies & former governor’s appointee in California, to learn how government agencies can confidently embrace an AI-enabled future: https://juni.pr/4hS9YQe

This isn't a political statement; it's an insight into government-business dynamics. Changes in leadership inevitably affect the businesses that interact with them, no matter how you voted. So, what does a new President mean for the tech sector? I found this article to be a solid reflection of my predictions, and here’s what I foresee: - New FTC leadership that may ease up on antitrust regulations and monopoly scrutiny. - Anticipated guidelines for cryptocurrency, leading to a boom in crypto markets. - Updates to Biden's executive order on AI, paving the way for increased AI integration in government operations - Keep an eye on potential shifts in Chinese manufacturing and tariffs, as many of these initiatives will require intricate negotiations in Congress, which can take time. - Now is a great time to recruit some government experienced professionals to come and work for your company! https://lnkd.in/eXgEYHez

In my quest to explore new experiences, I joined the Capitol Network’s golf tournament committee and survived my first event! The tournament was a sold-out success, with proceeds benefitting Girls Inc. I had an amazing time with the CN team and all the guests! Golden Bridge Strategies is a proud sponsor of Capitol Network!

Fantastic to spend some time talking A&N modernization with Liana Bailey-Crimmins, Monica Hernández & Brian Wong from the California State Government yesterday. Mary Lalouch, Philip Cullens and I loved hearing about the work you’re doing to transform the citizen experience. It’s incredible what can be achieved when data is truly put to work for social good. Thanks so much for taking the time!
