How China Hijacked Bernie & AOC's War on AI | Bitcoin Policy Hour EP 38

On April 29th, the US Senate hosted a panel on the "existential threat" of AI and two of the four panelists worked for the Chinese government. One month earlier, Bernie Sanders and AOC introduced legislation imposing a federal moratorium on American AI data centers. On Bitcoin Policy Hour EP 38, Zack Cohen, Ken Egan, and Zack Shapiro unpack a new Bitcoin Policy Institute report by Sam Lyman exposing the CCP influence operation steering US AI policy. They also cover the Clarity Act vote in Senate Banking, the BRCA fight, and the Digital Asset Parity Act.
