About this episode
Most people think the government is too complex to change. Except it isn't.
Laura Carr discovered this after years in politics - working in DC, the Texas Senate, and lobbying firms. She saw how AI could make legislative research 100x faster.
The interesting part isn't the AI itself. It's what happens when someone who deeply understands politics figures out how to make AI work on laws. USLege started with Texas, the most complex state legislature. If AI can handle Texas laws, it can handle anything.
This isn't just about making the government more efficient. It's about turning political processes into programmable components. The implications are bigger than most people realize.
In this episode, Laura explains:
How they found a wedge into government
Why lobbyists were their surprising first users
What happens when laws become data
Why starting with the hardest problem worked
If you want to understand how software is finally eating the government because of AI, this conversation is a good place to start.
