The word "Due" read from top-down and "South" left-right, with the U shared between them. Reminiscent of a compass.

Semi-opened Laptop Computer Turned-on on Table

The phrase “tech policy” can sound esoteric or even a bit boring. But from child safety and parental rights to AI to privacy laws, this is the stuff the impacts everyday people — every single day.

Co-host Jeff Tiberii talks to a panel of experts about why legislation has stalled in Congress, how state legislation on tech issues could impact you and your family, and how North Carolina's policies compare with other states.

Plus, the experts weigh in on how they use and manage technology in their own lives.

Guests
Matt Perault, Director, Center on Technology Policy, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Robyn Caplan, Assistant Professor at Sanford School of Public Policy and Senior Lecturing Fellow in the Center for Science & Society, Duke University
Zachery Eanes, reporter, Axios Raleigh
Brooke Medina, Vice President of Communications, John Locke Foundation
