In this episode of our Data, Cyber + Privacy PLUS podcast, hosts Kaylee Cox Bankston and Boris Segalis sit down with Carrie Cordero, General Counsel and Robert M. Gates Senior Fellow at the Center for a New American Security, for a thought-provoking conversation about the emerging AI regulatory landscape, the bipartisan push to strengthen cybersecurity, and the growing influence of private-sector innovators in shaping national security policy. Carrie also reflects on what past privacy and surveillance debates can teach us today and how responsible AI governance can balance innovation with protection in an era of rapid technological change.
