**Episode Description: Attorney General Showdown: Elections, Big Tech, and AI Accountability**
Welcome to the latest episode of the Attorney General Podcast with your host, Mortimer. In today's episode, we delve into the most pressing headlines surrounding state attorneys general as the 2026 elections draw near. From competitive races and high-stakes retirements to transformative legal battles, we cover it all.
Discover the unfolding drama in 30 states and territories, including Florida's competitive race where James Uthmeier seeks a full term against Democrat José Javier RodrÃguez. Meanwhile, Texas sees a reshuffling with AG Ken Paxton retiring to pursue a Senate seat, igniting a fervent Republican primary, while Democrats Tony Box and Joe Jaworski enter the fray.
We also tackle the intense legal scrutiny on Big Tech. California AG Rob Bonta, up for re-election, has launched an investigation into Elon Musk's xAI and X platform after alarming complaints about Grok AI's tool creating unauthorized deepfakes. With 35 state AGs demanding accountability, social media platforms like Meta, Instagram, and TikTok are under fire for their role in mental health crises among teens.
Join us as we dissect these crucial issues and explore who will spearhead the fight against technology overreach and AI misuses. Stay informed and subscribe to the Attorney General Podcast for more insightful discussions. Produced by Quiet Please, for more information visit quietplease.ai.
