Prediction Markets, AI Agents, and Who Sets the Rules

Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/124988/fan...) From betting on election outcomes to AI agents acting on their own, emerging technologies are raising new questions about regulation, accountability, and the role of government. On this week's Conduit Street Podcast, Kevin Kinnally and Michael Sanderson welcome back Ben Yelin of the University of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security and the University of Maryland Carey School of Law for a "tech talk" about the rapidly changing technology landscape. The discussion explores the growing popularity of prediction markets, the legal battles over state and federal regulatory authority, and concerns about their potential influence on elections. The trio also examines the rise of autonomous AI agents, the risks of systems operating beyond their intended boundaries, and what these developments could mean for government oversight and public safety. Tune in for a closer look at the opportunities, risks, and policy challenges emerging as technology continues to outpace regulation. Follow Ben Yelin! (https://x.com/byelin) Follow us on Socials!
