AI is reshaping every industry, but the rules governing it remain fragmented, contested, and often invisible to the people most affected. This panel cuts through the noise to examine who's actually setting the agenda — governments, corporations, or the public — and what's at stake when those interests collide. From federal legislation to corporate ethics frameworks to grassroots advocacy, panelists will explore the gap between AI policy as written and AI policy as lived, and what it takes to build governance that's both technically sound and fundamentally just.
