AI is moving too fast. AI needs to move faster. We need regulation. Regulation could hold America back.

So, which is it?

On this episode of Not The Smartest Guys in the Room, Tom Langan and Dominick Domasky dig into the conflicting messages surrounding artificial intelligence and the enormous amounts of money, power, infrastructure, and politics driving the AI race.

Tom and Dom explore the explosion of AI data centers, growing privacy concerns, changing public sentiment, and whether calls for regulation can coexist with the push to innovate faster. They also examine the motivations of major technology companies, the potential for AI to improve lives or be misused, and why the global competition around AI increasingly draws comparisons to past technological arms races.

As always, Not The Smartest Guys in the Room isn't about pretending to have all the answers. It is about asking better questions, challenging the messages being sold to us, and having conversations that business owners, creators, and everyday people should be having.
