On this week’s Insider episode, Joyce Vance is joined by CAFE contributor Nita Farahany, while Preet is out. Farahany is a professor of law and philosophy at Duke Law School and a leading expert on the ethical and legal implications of emerging technologies. In an excerpt from the episode, they discuss the U.S.’s failure to put in place proper safeguards for AI, and what Congress must do to keep pace with the growing risks.

In the full episode, Joyce and Nita explore the meaning of “cognitive liberty,” President Trump’s AI plans, and the ways in which AI is impacting courtrooms and health care.
