In this context, U.S. states have stepped in to regulate AI through broad legislation or targeted policies for specific applications, creating a complex and evolving patchwork of laws that businesses and consumers must navigate. To what extent can this fragmented approach drive or hinder innovation? What can alleviate uncertainty for businesses, including SMBs and consumers? How will these diverse state laws inform and influence federal action?

This session will discuss the critical intersection of AI&#8217;s transformative potential in every aspect of our lives and of the crucial need for public trust and acceptance to build a future where AI benefits all of society.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Key topics of discussion to explore:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The importance of implementing AI practices that drive innovation while maintaining public confidence<\/li>\n<li>Issues around transparency, bias, privacy, data misuse, ethical AI deployment, intellectual property, freedom of expression and legal accountability<\/li>\n<li>How organizations can leverage AI to empower workers and retain talent.<\/li>\n<li>How concerns about job displacement be best addressed and exploring strategies for reskilling and upskilling the workforce to adapt to the changing demands of an AI-driven economy<\/li>\n<li>How AI initiatives that are aligned with key local industries can equitably scale the training of a specialized AI-skilled workforce<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring AI benefits are distributed to communities nationwide<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 4 &#8211; Boosting Public Trust and Acceptance of AI image\" src=\"https:\/\/us-aisummit.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stephen-Miller-WebsiteMailing-120x120.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"row artist-media text-center\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/stephen-miller-4a39684a\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"tcode-social-icon tcode-ico-linkedin\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Stephen Miller                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Chief Technology Officer, The Office of the Chief Technology Officer, Government of the District of Columbia                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stephen N.

In this context, U.S. states have stepped in to regulate AI through broad legislation or targeted policies for specific applications, creating a complex and evolving patchwork of laws that businesses and consumers must navigate. To what extent can this fragmented approach drive or hinder innovation? What can alleviate uncertainty for businesses, including SMBs and consumers? How will these diverse state laws inform and influence federal action?
