What if AI could decode government in real time?

In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Pat Utz, CEO and Co-Founder of Abstract, the AI startup building “regulatory superintelligence” to track and analyze laws, bills, and regulations across 145,000+ government entities.

Pat explains how Abstract evolved from university research into a venture-backed company helping law firms, enterprises, and policymakers cut through the noise of Congress, state legislatures, and regulatory agencies. From uncovering hidden amendments in massive bills to proactively identifying risks and opportunities for businesses, Abstract is transforming how we understand legislation.

We cover:

How AI is reshaping lobbying, law, and compliance
Why Abstract is focused on proactive intelligence, not reactive compliance
The role of AI agents, LLMs, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in policy analysis
Real examples of AI influencing funding and legislation
The future of democracy when citizens and businesses have true transparency into government

Whether you’re in tech, law, government affairs, or just curious about how AI is changing democracy, this conversation reveals the future of policy intelligence.
