The EU’s #AIAct was published in the Official Journal of the European Union, meaning that it has officially entered into law & will come into force early next month! What does that mean for EU businesses & the world at large? ICYMI, @OTI’s @morar explains: bit.ly/4cCwjhE

Seven months after the political agreement, the #AI Act has finally become law today. Welcome, Regulation 2024/1689! It will become a household name soon enough. Now the clock starts ticking for all the legal deadlines.

Two parts of the Senate Bipartisan AI Working Group that leapt out at me and correspond to work I’ve done @BrookingsInst. “Strong” bipartisan statement helpful to have as Senate Commerce Committee works to bring American Privacy Rights Act forward.

The House, this week, will vote on the Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act. It would close the loophole used by law enforcement to buy data, like location or internet records, without a warrant! We urge all members to vote YES on this bill! newamerica.org/oti/press-rel…

This is what the AI safety advocacy community with over half a billion dollars is seriously advocating for: total surveillance and control of the means of ML. Consider this a 🚨red alert🚨for anyone else who has worked in tech advocacy for any time at all.

We must address the negative impacts of the internet on #YouthMentalHealth, but #KOSA is a censorship bill that creates entirely new mental health risks. Restricting young people's access to key information and social support isn't the answer.
