Arizona small businesses deserve a voice in AI policy
An Arizona State University piece argues that small businesses in Arizona should have meaningful input in shaping AI policy decisions that affect them. The piece appears to advocate for broader stakeholder representation beyond large corporations in AI governance conversations.
Why this matters: AI rules tend to get written around the players with lobbyists. Small businesses rarely have that. They still have to live with whatever gets decided. If policy is shaped mainly by large tech companies and regulators, the rules will reflect large-company problems and large-company assumptions. That matters for anyone who runs a small business and relies on AI tools, or whose data those tools touch. Representation in the room is not a procedural nicety. It shapes who the rules actually protect.
