Tech & AI
AI, social media, antitrust, encryption, privacy — debates over the digital era.
Tech policy is where every other political debate eventually arrives. Conservatives argue against speech regulation by platforms and federal agencies, and against premature AI rules that lock in incumbents. Liberals argue for antitrust enforcement, content accountability, and aggressive guardrails on AI systems that affect employment, civil rights, and elections. Bilateral covers the actual policy mechanisms — Section 230, antitrust filings, AI executive orders, privacy law, encryption mandates, the TikTok question — without falling into either techno-optimism or moral panic.
