As Congress considers how to respond to the risks of artificial intelligence, from discrimination to deceptive content and unsafe outputs, lawmakers are increasingly confronting a threshold question: when does AI regulation regulate conduct, and when does it regulate speech?
This briefing will examine the emerging First Amendment questions raised by AI systems, including chatbot outputs, transparency mandates, model restrictions, and civil rights enforcement. Panelists will discuss where constitutional concerns are most likely to arise, where regulation may be on firmer ground, and how courts may approach these issues as AI policy moves from theory to litigation. RSVP in person or to watch the livestream.
Date: Tuesday, September 22
Time: 12:00–1:00 PM ET
