Summary
Host Jayson Manship records from Memphis, Tennessee, to discuss state-level technology policy on this episode of Authentic and Agentic. Manship interviews three board members from the Indiana Technology and Innovation Association: Executive Director Jen Hallowell, John Wechsler of Spokenote and Zach Carstensen of Salesforce. The group details Indiana's deliberate approach to artificial intelligence regulation. They explain why state lawmakers are waiting for federal standards rather than creating a patchwork of local laws and highlight the state's proactive push for K-12 AI education led by Secretary of Education Dr. Katie Jenner. The conversation also explores the push for massive AI data centers. The guests discuss how the state is working to attract tech infrastructure while protecting residential utility ratepayers and managing water resources.
