AI's Ethical Frontier: Responsible Regulation...by Whom? | Global Conference 2024
Jo Ling Kent, Rob Bonta, John B. Quinn, Rob Silvers, . will.i.am, Frankie Williams, Felicia
Undersecretary Rob Silvers and California Attorney General Rob Bonta outlined a dual strategy of federal oversight and state-level enforcement to secure critical infrastructure and curb AI harms, including the creation of a new DHS safety board and active litigation against major tech firms. The discussion highlighted growing legal concerns regarding data sovereignty, child safety, and algorithmic manipulation, while advocating for a shift toward risk-based, EU-style regulations that reverse the burden of proof for AI-caused injuries. Despite skepticism about comprehensive federal privacy laws, the panel emphasized that California will likely lead regulatory development through diverse stakeholder inclusion and strict consumer protection measures.

Aerospace Corporation and industry leaders at a California panel discussed record hiring trends while highlighting critical shortages of cleared engineers and the widening "middle skills" gap. Participants emphasized a strategic shift from traditional partnerships to deep integration among government, education, and employers to co-design curricula and expand apprenticeship models. The discussion concluded with a call to eliminate degree inflation, address soft skill deficits, and remove systemic barriers to build a scalable, diverse workforce capable of meeting future automation demands.
