HELLO FUTURE: How AI Is Rewiring Lobbying and Policy Work

In this episode of HELLO FUTURE, host Kevin Cirilli speaks with David Fuscus, CEO and Founder of Précis AI, about how artificial intelligence is transforming one of Washington’s most relationship-driven industries. Fuscus’s company builds industry-specific AI platforms and has just launched the beta of Willard AI — a specialized tool for policy, Hill, and lobbying work built on the world’s largest AI-accessible database of Congressional and government documents. The conversation explores why one in four federal lobbyists now work on AI issues (up from roughly one in ten three years ago), what Willard can do that was impossible just a year ago, and why connecting to 132 federal databases changes the game compared with general tools like ChatGPT. Fuscus shares real examples of tasks that once took government affairs teams a week and now take minutes, and addresses whether AI levels the playing field for smaller shops and nonprofits or simply accelerates the biggest K Street firms. They also dig into the flood of more than 1,500 AI-related bills introduced across 45 states this year, what the technology means for junior lobbyists and the entry-level path, and the critical line where machines stop and human judgment, trust, and relationships still begin.Meet The Future: https://mtf.tv/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
