States aren't just deciding whether to regulate AI. They're deciding it across multiple distinct fronts. Each one carries a different kind of difficulty. Knowing which one you're facing changes what kind of process can actually resolve it. confluencepsg.com/publicatio…

The most well-informed, sustainable & impactful changes in systems & policies come about when those closest to them drive the changes – from the experts in the system to the people navigating & living within that system. If you're in CO, this might be opportunity for you!

If you've ever wondered exactly what we do at @ConfluencePSG - the portfolio, the methodology, and the outcomes - it's all here. If you've got a policy issue that's stuck, we'd love to talk. ConfluencePSG.com

If you've ever sat in a room where everyone is talking and nothing is moving, you know the problem isn't the issue. It's the process. Today, our whitepaper drops providing a practical guide for breaking through gridlock. confluencepsg.com/breakinggr…
