Episode 13: Karen Saxe and Courtney Gibbons
Karen Saxe and Courtney Gibbons, two math professors who moved into careers in public policy, discuss Congress’s response to AI, key legislation affecting AI literacy, ethical concerns and bias, AI’s role in teaching and research, the U.S. vs. EU approach to AI regulation, and how academics can engage in policy-making at the local and national levels.
NOTE: This episode was recorded on September 10, 2024. As you will hear in our intro, our guests on this episode work on public policies and with the current changes in the administration some of the discussions you will hear may no longer apply. Our guest Courtney Gibbons lost her intermittent expert appointment at the NSF. Gary C. Peters is now ranking member of the committee I worked for (HSGAC).
