JUST IN: The Justice Department has sent a letter to Elon Musk's super PAC, warning that his daily $1m giveaway to registered voters in swing states might violate federal laws, sources tell CNN. It's illegal to incentivize registration with cash/prizes. @evanperez @HBRabinowitz

Big Podcast doesn’t want you to be alone with your thoughts

The FTC report found some companies didn’t delete information when users requested it. This “proves that stronger enforcement is needed, especially from consumers themselves,” EFF’s @_mariotrujillo told The @Guardian. theguardian.com/technology/202…

In another historic development, our sponsored Neurorights bill SB 1223 has officially passed the California Senate with a unanimous vote of 38-0. The state of California joins Chile, Rio Grande do Sul, and Colorado in securing neural data protections!

Zing!

Today's @politico Tech Podcast episode by @StevenOverly got me thinking. Is the Brussels Effect infringing on the American right to free speech? Here are my thoughts: ebanid.medium.com/digital-servic… #platformregulation #ramblings #freespeech #DigitalServicesAct

It's not sustainable - pouring resources to create an isolated innovation ecosystem when talent and IP are very well known to be geographically distributed. 3/3 Curious to hear others' thoughts. #technonationalism #Innovation #ArtificialInteligence onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Techno-nationalism is almost a complete flip from the 2000s US foreign policy attitude. Today, we see rivalry between US and China - both approaching it as a zero-sum game. Is this ideal for innovation? 2/n newamerica.org/oti/reports/th…

Yesterday's @nytimes Morning Briefing was centered around A.I. nationalism - every sovereign state is fighting to be the first in the AI race. I began really hearing about tech nationalism during the COVID vaccine development. 1/n

some thoughts on an fda-type agency for ai. i very briefly touch upon labelling requirements for frontier algorithms. could this be a feasible policy? ebanid.medium.com/considering-an… #aisafety #techpolicy #aigovernance

I completed the AI Safety Fundamentals: Governance course! course.bluedot.org/certification?…

Apparently, that concern is limited to Congress. The executive branch released the AI EO. The EU just passed the AI Act. All this does is re-emphasises the influential role of industry in the policymaking process. Just look at the members of the new DHS AI Safety Board. 4/4

After a year of deliberation, this is a let down. We know too much to still be "exploring." Schumer is known to be in favour of deferring regulation, "because AI is changing too quickly." nytimes.com/2024/05/15/tec… 3/4

I read the Senate's Roadmap to AI Policy that Schumer released a couple of weeks ago, and my takeaway is that Congress is more interested in protecting the AI industry than Americans from the harms they will face as AI develops. 1/4
