    One nation, two AI futures.

    This week on Caveat, Dave and Ben welcome back N2K’s own ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ethan Cook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for our latest policy deep dive segment.

As AI policy has continued to expand at the state level, the Trump administration has begun to outline its overall AI strategy. However, while states have continued to expand their regulatory AI regimes, the Trump administration is looking to pull back on regulatory burdens, creating a tension point between the two.
