Regulation of Artificial Intelligence

Today's topic is regulation of Artificial Intelligence. It's a big issue and we have two excellent people to discuss it: James Pethokoukis, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, who believes it should be relatively lightly regulated, while Ryan Girdusky from Project 1776 PAC believes in a stronger sense of regulation.

Galluping Onward and Away

Now that we're back into the campaign swing, Beyond the Polls is grooving into familiar rhythms. That means we've got a weekly rant, a great guest, and an ad or two worth diving into. This week, Ryan Girdusky, host of "It's a Numbers Game," joins Henry to discuss how the GOP is only just finding its footing a decade into its shakeup. Plus, Henry gives an update on Trump's approval rating, salutes Gallup for its many years of tracking that metric, and takes a look at a couple of bold primary spots: one out of the Texas Senate primary, the other from Illinois-8. And take a look at Henry's new series, Conservative Crossroads, where he moderates debates between representatives of the American Right's competing factions.
