Candice’s Current Thinking
Weekly analysis and perspectives on the AI and policy landscape.
THIS WEEK IN AI
Each week I synthesize the key developments in AI and public policy so you don’t have to. Here’s what I’m watching:
• The White House is preparing an executive order to override state AI laws
• The administration released its National Security Strategy reaffirming AI as a vital national interest
• Local pushback is delaying data center projects across dozens of states
Taken together, this week’s news underscores the ongoing battle over AI regulation and the competing interests of federal and state authorities, the tech industry, and local communities.

“This is a 1996 moment for AI — the companies that show up in Washington will shape the next decade.”
