Artificial intelligence is advancing at a relentless pace, and politicians are racing to draft policies to regulate, promote, or harness its potential — rules worth keeping an eye on.
That’s where the A.I. Agenda comes in.
We’re plugged into the nexus of AI, government and industry to help you understand how AI will affect your life — and how policymakers will affect AI.
Think of it as your weekly cheat sheet on everything AI policy: the bills, the controversies and how AI could shape your life, your career, and your community. All fueled by industry experts and Arizona’s premier politics and policy newsletter, the Arizona Agenda.
Why Launch The AI Agenda Now?
AI isn’t just about sci-fi visions — it’s here, reshaping everything from job applications to healthcare diagnostics. Arizona lawmakers are proposing bills to regulate AI, cities are testing it for ways to better serve their constituents, and Congress is making moves to ensure AI’s fair and transparent use.
We believe it’s more important than ever to keep you ahead of the curve.
You can expect us to deliver:
Legislative Spotlights: A closer look at the AI-related bills in Arizona’s statehouse and the halls of Congress, and what these bills could mean for Arizona jobs, city budgets, and your day-to-day interactions with AI tools.
Behind-the-Scenes Views: Interviews with the people who are shaping AI policy—politicians, researchers, and community leaders.
Real-World Applications: We’ll examine how businesses and governments are utilizing AI tools for everything from chatbots to traffic light control and urban planning.

Sneak Peek: What’s Ahead
Upcoming Legislation: We’ll track the new AI-related proposals at the Arizona State Legislature.
City Initiatives: From Phoenix's smart city programs to Tucson's AI ethics committees, we'll cover how local governments are approaching AI governance.
The National Take: Expect roundups on congressional moves like the proposed Algorithmic Accountability Act and what it might mean for employers and consumers across the state.
Future of Work: We'll also dig into the job market—where it's booming, where it's changing, and how to adapt if your industry is in AI's crosshairs.
We can’t wait to pull back the curtain on the A.I. Agenda.

Until then, stay innovative.
