Panel 1: Reactions to the Supreme Court Arguments

It is increasingly difficult for patients to access health care clinicians, especially in rural and underserved areas. Not enough clinicians are entering the workforce to replace those quitting or retiring while the US population is growing and aging. The average wait for a first‐​time doctor’s appointment is 26 days. Yet, state licensing laws prevent experienced international medical graduates (IMGs) who migrate to the United States from offering their services to residents. Unlike many other developed countries, American states require IMGs to repeat their residency training in accredited US programs – convincing many IMGs to not practice medicine. Several states are reforming their licensing laws to remove obstacles preventing IMGs from practicing medicine, but not without controversy.Join Jonathan Wolfson, Chief Legal Officer and Policy Director at the Cicero Institute, Maqbool Halepota, MD, FACP, Medical Director at Palo Verde Cancer Center‐​Scottsdale, and Lisa Robin, Chief Advocacy Officer at the Federation of State Medical Boards, for a discussion of the issue.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is leading the tech conversation for “accelerationists,” “doomers,” and everyone in between. From the Biden administration’s executive order on AI to dozens of bills being discussed on Capitol Hill, policymakers are looking to exert influence over AI, just as AI is poised to extend its impact on our world.Data privacy, cybersecurity, financial opportunity, election integrity, and economic growth are just some of the policy issues implicated by recent advances in generative AI and deep learning.Yet new technology, however transformative, does not mean we should abandon long‐​standing policy principles that have served America well. Join us for a wide‐​ranging conversation on AI, tech policy, and the future of American innovation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

All US states and territories maintain a high barrier to entry that dissuades students from entering the accounting profession—the requirement that CPAs complete 150 credit hours of academic study in addition to passing an exam. This unnecessary requirement contributes to the current shortage of accountants, delaying the completion of state and local government financial audits and thus inhibiting the public’s ability to hold governments accountable.Speakers will discuss alternative paths to certification, including reforms to the 150‐​hour rule and competitive accounting certification bodies.

On February 26, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the cases of Moody v. NetChoice and NetChoice v. Paxton. These cases are likely to have a significant impact on the future of free speech online and the way platforms engage in online content moderation.With the oral arguments fresh in mind, this multipanel event will feature a fireside chat with Steve DelBianco, president and CEO of NetChoice, before moving on to panels of legal and policy experts who will analyze the Florida and Texas laws at issue in these cases and discuss what happened at oral arguments. The NetChoicecases represent a pivotal moment in the future of First Amendment jurisprudence both online and offline. As such, it is important that Cato provides a forum for understanding not only the Court’s consideration of these cases but also the broader impact such proposals should have. Further panels will discuss the impact the cases will have on the debates over Section 230 and online speech for users, as well as the impact on online content moderation decisions by online platforms.
