Paid vs Free AI Experiences

In this episode, I sit down with Jake Ward, founder of the Application Developers Alliance. We dig into the AI "Frankenact," aka the EU AI Act, and why policymakers regulating tech they fundamentally misunderstand creates a cold wind for software innovation.Jake drops some harsh truths about why giving developers a voice in Washington is harder than it looks, why collective bargaining and developer unions probably won't work, and how bad policy is forcing companies to build for compliance rather than ship great products.
