How do we keep AI "in the box"? ?? In our latest episode of the #PrivacyInsider podcast, Dr. Michael Hemenway explores the ethical challenges surrounding AI and how we might address them. Throughout history, humans have tried to "domesticate" powerful forces—whether it's nature, societal changes, or technology. Now, AI presents a similar dilemma: how do we control it, and what does that look like? But is containing it the best way forward?

Regulation in the age of AI must evolve—but are we doing enough? In the latest episode of the #PrivacyInsider podcast, Dr. Michael Hemenway argues that to protect vulnerable communities, we need to move beyond one-size-fits-all approaches: We can’t just rely on broad federal policies to regulate AI. Instead, we must invest in localized regulatory models that can address the unique needs of specific communities—especially those at risk of being harmed by unchecked technology. Without these tailored solutions, we may be setting ourselves up for big challenges down the road. How can we create regulations that are both adaptive and fair in the face of fast-paced technological change? Find out in the latest episode of The Privacy Insider Podcast ??https://pvcy.me/3CEVgfb
