<< A POLICY SUMMIT PANEL SPOTLIGHT >>
Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept — it’s here, and it’s reshaping the way businesses operate. According to GNDC’s 2024 Economics and Employer Survey, 63% of our members are beginning to explore AI use and applications, while 15% report frequent use in their business operations. These numbers highlight a clear trend: North Dakota businesses are curious, cautious, and increasingly engaged with AI’s potential.
Yet while adoption grows, policy struggles to keep pace. Without a national framework, states have started crafting their own AI laws. The result is a patchwork of regulations that increase compliance costs, heighten litigation risks, and make it harder for businesses to plan with confidence. For AI to truly drive economic growth, the U.S. needs a roadmap that protects consumers without stifling innovation.
BE IN THE ROOM
At the Policy Summit on September 23, we’re bringing this challenge to the forefront. Jordan Crenshaw, Senior Vice President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Technology Engagement Center, will lead a keynote on the conversation surrounding AI policy and an approach that fosters innovation, ensures trust, and strengthens global competitiveness.
Crenshaw’s expertise spans privacy, cloud computing, broadband, and e-commerce policy, with a track record of building consensus on complex issues. His perspective is timely and essential for any business leader navigating AI adoption.
