Show Notes
Tammy Haddad interviews Rohit Chopra, the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, in the final days of the Biden presidency. He discusses his agency’s approach to AI regulation, and the need to stop potentially “intrusive surveillance” by Big Tech on the same day Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg criticizes federal scrutiny of Meta, singling out the CFPB. Chopra also warns of the danger of “deleting” agencies such as CFPB as Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy look to cut a trillion dollars from the federal budget.
