Shapiro calls for regulation of AI development after top tech leaders speak out
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has called for regulation of AI development, aligning with recent statements from prominent technology industry leaders who have publicly advocated for oversight of the sector.
Why this matters: When a governor and top tech leaders agree that AI needs rules, that is worth paying attention to. It does not happen often. The harder part is what comes next. Calls for regulation are easy. Actual rules that protect people, not just companies, are much harder to write. The real test is whether any regulation that follows gives the public clear rights, or mostly gives industry a seat at the table to shape its own oversight.
