A healthcare chatbot and a productivity assistant carry very different risks at the same user scale. Yet the Measures apply the same safety assessment triggers to both. @acmpolicy recommends sector-aware, context-sensitive approaches to safety oversight.

China is drafting rules for AI systems that act human. @acmpolicy's Asia-Pacific Tech Policy Subcommittee has responded — with 6 technical recommendations to strengthen the Measures. A thread on what's at stake. 🧵

"Science: The Endless Frontier" shaped NSF's mission for years — and for good reason. USTPC's response to NSF's draft 2026–2030 plan makes the case that abandoning that vision for short-term gains would sacrifice America's long-term leadership. #NSF shorturl.at/EEIvj
