Inside the OMB’s Bold New AI Playbook: How Innovation and Trust Hang in the Balance
When we think of how governments steer the ship of policy, most envision the classic trio: laws, regulations, and executive orders – the heavyweight champs of market influence. But here’s a curveball: what if the government’s real power lies not just in the rules it enacts, but in how—and what—it buys?

Strange, isn’t it? More than just penning the rulebook, the government’s wallet writes plenty of unwritten codes. This little-known method of policy influence is especially pivotal as we navigate the uncharted waters of artificial intelligence governance—where transparency, intellectual property, and trust are not just buzzwords but lifelines. Curious how this subtle yet colossal force shapes AI’s future? Dive deeper. LEARN MORE
