Jim Malachowski on Illinois AI Regulation and Whether Washington Should Take the Wheel

AI governance expert Jim Malachowski joins the show to unpack Illinois's new AI regulation law, signed by Governor Pritzker, which adds annual audits and financial penalties beyond what California and New York already require. Malachowski, chairman of AIQA Global, explains his company's role as an independent AI governance rating agency — think a FICO score for artificial intelligence — and previews a coming shift toward mobile AI in self-driving cars, military drones, and eventually humanoid robots. Marc presses him on whether AI regulation should be left to blue states like Illinois, New York, and California, or whether the federal government needs to step in for national uniformity, a tension Malachowski says will play out over the next two years. Kim raises real parental fears about AI-generated fake images of children and who's held accountable when the technology is misused. The Marc Cox Morning Show tackles the promise and the peril of AI head-on. Kim on a Whim is coming up next, covering the Texas governor's investigation into birth tourism billboards in Mexico.
