"Shein will have to implement include diligent surveillance of illegal products, enhancing consumer protection measures, and ensuring transparency and accountability through audits and reporting requirements." euractiv.com/section/platfo…
"TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance's total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the U.S. in a worst case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer" reuters.com/technology/byt…
The number of CAPTCHAs I have failed makes me question whether I am really human.
Using AI to understand how insects fly (and testing those ideas on a tiny robot fly). Some fascinating research: arstechnica.com/science/2024/0…
Banning @tiktok is bad policy, plain and simple. @ITIFdc statement from @castrotech ⤵️ itif.org/publications/2…
China ordering Apple to block WhatsApp and Threads in the hours before Congress votes on a TikTok ban is incredibly poor timing. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…
The Future of AI Innovation Act is perhaps one of the most pro-AI bills Congress has introduced this session. Lots more to do (e.g. talent, compute, R&D, etc.) but legislation like this one is how the U.S. can compete with China. commerce.senate.gov/2024/4/cantwel…

The European Commission announced that Pornhub, Stripchat and Xvideos must start complying with the DSA's most stringent requirement for VLOPs, including granting researchers access to platform data. 😳 digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/additi…

"DARPA revealed that an AI-controlled jet successfully faced a human pilot during an in-air dogfight test carried out last year...DARPA doesn’t say which aircraft won the dogfight, however." theverge.com/2024/4/18/2413…
If the House successfully bundles the TikTok ban with aid to Ukraine and Israel, this might actually pass the Senate. nytimes.com/2024/04/17/tec…
The EU continues to try to require US tech companies to allow Europeans free access to online services without targeted ads. US policymakers should push back on these efforts at highest levels. techcrunch.com/2024/04/17/con…
Predicting outcomes in heart failure patients... "The researchers attribute the model’s success to the use of ML/AI and the inclusion of 'hemodynamic' clinical data, which describe how blood circulates through the heart, lungs and the rest of the body." newsroom.uvahealth.com/2024/04/15/art…
Really big news for immersive tech in education. This will open many more possibilities! "Later this year Meta will launch a new education product for Quest devices." about.fb.com/news/2024/04/n…
Worst reason for in-office mandates. "But the administration has also faced pressure to return employees to offices, including calls from Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg to return workers downtown to boost the local economy." politico.com/news/2024/04/1…
At a time of deep political division, at least members of Congress on both sides of the aisle can find common ground on authorizing warrantless surveillance by the government. nytimes.com/2024/04/12/us/…

None of that changes my view that progress is accelerating, that danger awaits, and that safety is one of the biggest generational challenges. The dot-com bubble didn't kill the internet, just burst unrealistic marketing hype
