I interviewed the Governor of New Jersey Phil Murphy.We spent an hour talking about his vision for AI in government, economic development, and the regulatory challenges ahead. His approach is refreshingly pragmatic: Spark real innovation at scale. Governor Murphy is laying the groundwork through an AI hub that pools the strengths of the government, academia (Princeton University), legacy tech (Microsoft), and next-gen players (CoreWeave). Creating a place for the brightest minds to live and work. He's making the Garden State irresistible for the best talent through walkable communities, legal recreational cannabis, and an angel investment tax credit.AI that augments teams, instead of replacing them. The Governor sees AI as an “accelerant” that enables teams to do more with the same number of employees. He's walking the talk by training 61,000 NJ state employees in AI to automate busy work and free them to focus on strategic tasks.An integrated regulatory framework for AI. He believes that a technology as pervasive as AI should be regulated at a national level because the state-by-state approach could stifle innovation. Governor Phil Murphy is the first governor I've ever had on the show and I was honored he took the time to come on. I was also especially excited to do this because I grew up in New Jersey! This is a must watch for anyone interested in the intersection of AI and policy.If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! Want even more?Sign up for Every to unlock our ultimate guide to prompting ChatGPT here: https://every.ck.page/ultimate-guide-to-prompting-chatgpt.

What's Happening Over The Skies of New Jersey Part II THE CULLING   Strange things are happening in the skies over the Garden State New Jersey. What are they, Where are they coming from and What do they want?   PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- People from all across the Delaware Valley and up into northern New Jersey have reported seeing clusters of drones in the sky over the past several weeks. Numerous reports were sent to Action News about flying objects in Media and Broomall in Delaware County, as well as in Philadelphia's Mayfair section and in Cherry Hill, Camden County. We've been asking local and federal officials if they can offer an explanation. Simply put, so far, the answer is no. We spoke with Maureen Rush who is a 45-year law enforcement veteran and president of the Philadelphia Police Foundation. She says it's important to note that many of the sightings include commercial-grade drones, some as large as small airplanes, not the kinds used by hobbyists. "My other concern is that there are multiple drone sightings. They're almost in a flock. If they were geese, they'd be in a flock, and that's what's really unnerving for people," she said. Over in New Jersey, Governor Phil Murphy has publicly stated that this drone activity does not pose a public safety concern, but he has offered little else regarding an explanation. And State Senator Doug Steinhardt says that's simply not good enough. "I'd be happy with an explanation that we've looked at it, and we don't have information, or for law enforcement to say it's an ongoing something or other, you know, and that's as much as we can tell you, but we're not even getting that which is unfortunate," said Steinhardt. And Steinhardt says he's not just speaking as a lawmaker, he's speaking as a witness. "I walked out of my front porch last night and saw it would look like drone activity to me. I mean, I've seen airplanes cross the sky before and this wasn't that," he says. Steinhardt has since sent letters to fellow lawmakers, including Governor Murphy, requesting they convene a bipartisan panel to discuss the situation. The FBI is involved in the investigation.  

Nancy Solomon, WNYC reporter and editor, and host of the “Ask Governor Murphy” monthly call-in show, recaps her conversation with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, including legislation that would prohibit book bans and more.
