What does it take to turn an issue into legislation? Time? Relationships? Listening? The AI in Education workgroup is highlighted in turning an issue into public policy.

In this episode, Alexis Morgan sits down with Idaho Senator Kevin Cook to talk about what goes into making quality legislation. They explore who needs to be at the table when a bill takes shape, and what happens when those voices aren't included.

From there, the conversation covers a wide range of issues facing Idaho:

• AI in education: how Idaho is approaching it and what's most important to protect in our classrooms
• Protecting kids: keeping kids safer from harmful content and the value of limiting tech
• Water policy: lessons from his research on the Great Basin and what Idaho communities need to understand
• Nuclear energy: what he wants people to know about Idaho's energy future
• Data centers: what they mean for Idaho, from a uniquely Idaho perspective
• Scams targeting older Idahoans: recent work to protect seniors across the state

Whether you're a parent, educator, or engaged citizen, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how policy gets made and why the people behind it matter.
