To prep for this - and because they are both worth listening to - I want to humbly ask you, dear reader, to lend me 80 min of your time spread across two pieces of content, as they each touch on the core concepts emerging in the AI Regulatory space right now.

Except, you see, “Go well for who?”, is the real $2 trillion dollar question.
