Description

Tech companies and their representatives have been outspoken about the potential risks of rapidly deploying artificial intelligence. Are their concerns justified? In this Ursinus College faculty panel, speakers explore how AI can and should be regulated, examining the political, economic, and institutional challenges shaping AI governance. Their conversation overviews domestic policy, geopolitical competition with China, and the role of international institutions in developing effective approaches to AI regulation.

Speakers include Drs. Shai Karp, Annie Karreth, and Johannes Karreth (Department of Politics and International Relations), Dr. Bill Mongan (Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics), and Dr. Aubrey Paris (Parlee Center for Science and the Common Good). The conversation is moderated by Dr. Tony Nadler (Department of Media and Communication Studies).
