Pat Joins Longtime New York Times Correspondent Craig S. Smith on Eye on A.I. Podcast

Earlier this summer, Pat sat down with Craig S. Smith, a veteran NYT reporter who is now the host of the artificial intelligence-focused podcast Eye on A.I. Together they chatted about how AI is transforming the way we understand policy.

They dove into:

• How Abstract started with natural language processing research at LMU before evolving into a venture-backed platform.
• Why spotting risks and opportunities in bills, regulations, and executive orders is critical for businesses.
• The realities of amendments and lobbying strategy — and how AI can make the process more transparent and proactive .
• The bigger vision: making policy more accessible not just for enterprises, but for everyday voters to better understand how government decisions impact them .

If you’re interested in the intersection of AI, law, and our evolving democracy, definitely give this episode a listen!
