AI's Role in Regulation Post-Chevron Conference
by George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center and Norm Ai
The "AI's Role in Regulation Post-Chevron" conference, co-hosted by the George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center and Norm Ai, convened on July 8, 2025, in Washington, D.C. This event brought together academics, practitioners, and government officials to explore the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in regulatory processes and its implications following the Chevron deference doctrine.
Key topics included the diverse applications of AI in government, from enhancing decision-making speed to improving public engagement. Discussions emphasized the importance of balancing AI's efficiency with maintaining accountability in regulatory bodies. Panelists also addressed challenges such as "AI-washing," where entities misrepresent AI capabilities, and the necessity for clear guidelines to prevent such practices.
The conference featured notable speakers like Dan Berkovitz, former Commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; Cary Coglianese, Director of the Penn Program on Regulation; and Troy Paredes, former SEC Commissioner. Their insights provided attendees with a comprehensive understanding of AI's potential and challenges in the regulatory landscape.
This event was particularly beneficial for policymakers, legal professionals, and technologists interested in the intersection of AI and regulation. Attendees gained valuable perspectives on leveraging AI to streamline regulatory compliance while ensuring transparency and public trust.
