Moving Forward: Cartel Chaos, Government Transparency, Surveillance Reform, and AI Therapy

This week on Moving Forward, the Young Voices radio show, we hear from contributors Layal Boy Harfouch, Tosin Akintola, Cristopher Gardner, and Iulia Lupse.

The killing of Mexican cartel kingpin El Mencho hasn't brought the drug crisis any closer to an end. Layal Bou Harfouch explains what will make a difference.

Transparency in governance is essential for a proper, limited government. Tosin Akintola wonders why Massachusetts lawmakers feel they should be exempt from public records requests.

The U.S. government is fond of portraying itself as a champion of global free speech online. Christopher Gardner says that if that's really the case, it's time to let Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act expire.

One of the places AI is becoming more and more popular is in the realm of mental health therapy. Iulia Lupse warns that overregulation of therapy chatbots risks freezing innovation in a system that's already failing millions.
