Inside Virginia's AI-driven streamlining of regulations
"Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin turned heads last month when he signed an executive order mandating that the commonwealth must use agentic artificial intelligence to further streamline its regulations. The Office of Regulatory Management has already achieved a 26.8% streamlining or reduction of the commonwealth's regulatory requirements, and Youngkin said in a statement that agentic AI "will push this effort further.""
""We vote for our representatives, senators, state and federal and governors and presidents to actualize our will, and in theory, represent our interests," he said. "But what often happens is these agendas are not implemented, and they're blocked by red tape or subverted, and the work of policy implementation is outsourced to very expensive consultancies and law firms, and it costs the taxpayer hundreds of billions of dollars a year, state and federal.""
Governor Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order requiring the commonwealth to use agentic artificial intelligence to further streamline regulations. The Office of Regulatory Management has already reduced regulatory requirements by 26.8 percent. Vulcan Technologies, a startup founded this year by three Ivy League graduates and supported by Y Combinator, won the contract to lead the effort. Vulcan identifies a structural government problem in which leaders with mandates often cannot implement agendas due to red tape, outsourcing, and high consultancy costs that burden taxpayers. Vulcan began by building an AI tool to map the American legal corpus and secured the Virginia contract after incorporation.
