Can AI Streamline Regulation and Reduce Compliance Burdens?

​Presidents of both parties have launched efforts to make government regulations more efficient and effective, including through evaluation of outcomes (Obama), offsetting the costs of new regulations by removing old ones (Trump), and more robust engagement of the public in designing new regulations (Biden). These have faced data challenges, but generative AI may offer new opportunities for examining and evaluating regulations, and engaging diverse perspectives.

These panels of experts from government, academia, and the private sector will explore whether and how AI can improve government outcomes.
