AI Governance and Public Trust: Insights with Adrian Brown of Center for Public Impact

Adrian Brown joins this episode to share his extensive expertise on the government's evolving role in AI development and implementation. Drawing from his experience at the Center for Public Impact, he outlines the four critical functions the government must serve: developer, user, regulator, and sense-maker of AI technologies.

The conversation delves into how governments can ensure equitable distribution of AI benefits while maintaining innovation. Adrian emphasizes the importance of adaptive regulation that can keep pace with rapidly evolving AI technologies, comparing different regulatory approaches between jurisdictions like the EU and US, and exploring their implications for global AI development.

Throughout the discussion, Adrian addresses crucial topics including AI's impact on labor markets, the "Turing Trap" in workforce automation, and strategies for building public trust in government AI initiatives. He advocates for a balanced approach that recognizes both AI's potential to enhance human capabilities and the need for thoughtful oversight to prevent societal harms.
