Michigan Congressman Tom Barrett joins Michigan: We Need to Talk for an extended conversation about the growing anxiety around artificial intelligence — including warnings from people inside the AI industry that increasingly powerful systems could create profound risks for society.

Barrett talks with Stephen Henderson about how seriously Congress should take those warnings, what kinds of guardrails lawmakers should consider, and whether the United States can regulate AI without falling behind China and other global competitors.

They also discuss the rapid growth of AI infrastructure and data centers, the role local communities should have in deciding where those projects are built, and the broader question facing policymakers now: How do you govern a technology that is developing faster than the rules meant to contain it?

This is the full version of an interview excerpted in this week’s broadcast of Michigan: We Need to Talk.
