RegulatingAI: Congressman Bill Foster on AI Regulation, Digital Identity, AI Agents & the Future of AI Governance
July 7, 2026
The future of AI governance isn't just about regulating models—it's about rebuilding trust in the digital world.
In this episode of the Regulating AI Podcast, host Sanjay Puri sits down with Congressman Bill Foster—the only PhD physicist serving in the U.S. House of Representatives—to discuss some of the biggest policy challenges facing artificial intelligence today.
They explore why digital identity may be the foundation of AI governance, how AI agents will negotiate, transact and make decisions on our behalf, and why deepfakes, consumer protection, quantum computing and financial stability demand urgent attention from policymakers.
