Can AI and free society co-exist?

At what point does AI-powered monitoring become incompatible with a free society? At what point does this Wild West of tech advances lead to dystopia? We know we can’t stop AI, it’s already here and growing fast. But we can expect better protections and limits of government and corporate use of these tools for surveillance. The big question on this topic - what rules would we put in place if we could even get Congress to ever take action? We will be sharing some thoughts on that in subsequent posts and would love to see what people think. As a political strategist, I think we may need to work at the state levels first to create an intolerable patchwork of regulations to then force Congress to act. If this is done correctly, big AI companies may well beg DC to create something that is nationally standardized.
