Honored to have moderated a thought-provoking discussion on AI regulation at the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce with esteemed panelists Gerard de Graaf and Douglas Merrill. Huge thanks to Marcella Smyth for leading this important event and to Martin for inviting me to moderate.

As I mentioned during our conversation, we need to discuss algorithms as much as AI—they are equally powerful, widely used, and already impacting society in profound ways. Let’s continue driving responsible, ethical approaches to technology for the benefit of humanity.
