Our goal is to provoke new ideas, debate and discussion at the intersection of technology, democracy and policy, with a particular focus on: • Concentrations of power: the interaction of tech platforms, governments and the media and the future of the public sphere; • Geopolitics of technology: how nation states approach technology in the pursuit of advantage; • Technology and the economy: the relationship between markets, business, and labor; • Racism, bigotry, violence & oppression: how tech exacerbates or solves such challenges; • Ethics of Technology: how technology should be viewed alongside existing democratic ethos, especially with regard to privacy, surveillance and personal freedoms; • Election integrity & participation: mechanisms of democracy, problems such as disinformation and how citizens come to consensus.

My statement on the Bipartisan House Task Force Report on AI on Tech Policy Press for the AI Now Institute. In one breath the House report cautions against the material risks posed by large-scale AI, and in the other encourages widespread adoption and acceleration of AI across the economy. In the past *five days alone* we’ve seen the NDAA authorize dozens of troubling AI provisions and heard the Biden Administration tease fast-tracking data center construction for AI—one report shouldn’t shift our attention away from these developments.
On December 17, the bipartisan US House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence released its comprehensive 273-page report and key findings. Tech Policy Press collected comments from a range of experts and organizations.

Mallory Knodel says the #FBI must change its stance so we can move forward to protect communications with ubiquitous, strong #encryption. But officials are signaling that, despite recent events and seemingly conflicting signals from other agencies, their position is unchanged.

Don't get duped by AI Washing. It's a thing and it's only going to get worse. Consumers shouldn't be paying for human interaction and instead find themselves engaging with a chatbot. That's an increasingly common scam that will become more prevalent absent a justified focus on AI Washing by consumer protection regulators. Read more via Tech Policy Press.
