Why should we regulate artificial intelligence? This was the question we tackled at the Thursday evening discussion group at Meadowlark Hills Retirement Community in Manhattan, Kansas, on March 20, 2025. This presentation and conversation was shared by Wes Fryer of Charlotte, North Carolina, a 1988 graduate of Manhattan High School and current middle school and high school computer science teacher. We explored government regulation more broadly, considering the different kinds of things we generally acknowledge government should regulate, and acknowledged the widespread hostile sentiments in the United States today against regulation overall. After sharing a couple book recommendations, we explored the definition of "artificial general intelligence," who some of the primary players are in the AI competition today, and finally why many people believe it is important to try and regulate AI with different kinds of guardrails. Slides for this presentation are available and also linked on ai.wesfryer.com.
