Liz Orembo argues AI risk is relational—it "does not reside in code alone." A model can pass every frontier safety test and still cause harm when deployed into different languages, institutions and social realities. That matters, in particular, for Africa.

He may just want them dead?

Amazing.

Excellent work from the @ainowinstitute.bsky.social and @airwars.bsky.social. "To demystify military AI, we construct an abstract kill chain that reflects an AI targeting cycle."

When it comes to AI chatbots, "Congress should not expect parents to shoulder the burden of unsafe product design," writes Americans for Responsible Innovation's Brandie Nonnecke. Her recommended fix: an enforceable duty of care.

AI-powered nudification tools are making image-based abuse faster, cheaper and harder to stop. Ana Ornales investigates how sexualized deepfakes are affecting survivors, why sex workers face unique harms, and how Europe's safeguards are struggling to keep up.

The Trump administration tried to use visa denials and deportation to silence researchers who study social media. A court just said no. Sunday Tagliasacchi and Elisabeth Snyder, former legal externs at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, break down the CITR v. Rubio ruling.

Love this, always a sign of corporate honesty: "A spokeswoman said there were 'several inaccuracies' in Reuters' reporting but didn't respond when asked to describe them." www.reuters.com/business/its...

A federal court suspended a Trump administration policy that threatened noncitizen technology researchers with immigration consequences based on their work. In @techpolicypress.bsky.social, former Knight Institute externs Sunday Tagliasacchi and Elisabeth Snyder explain why the ruling matters.

AI reached local governments before policy did. Pitt Cyber’s Elise Silva and Beth Schwanke and Local Government Academy’s Joy Ruff warn that if adoption keeps outpacing governance, the potential costs—compromised data, biased outputs, eroded trust—land on governments least equipped to absorb them.

Yeah, this is truly sad. How can anybody justify this?? They raised this mother’s rent 6x, she couldn’t afford to move her trailer home, so they destroyed it.

Thrilled to have an opportunity to speak about my new book #ChillingEffects with @justinhendrix.bsky.social, Editor in Chief of @techpolicypress.bsky.social Listen in below!

“It’s not an argument with two sides, it’s an argument with 10 sides.” these are the people making the Trump administration's decisions on AI policy -- a really good read from @hugolowell.bsky.social:

France became the first EU country to restrict children's access to social media by law. Interface's Jessica Galissaire on whether Europe will learn from the French experience, or whether the political appeal of a ban will prevail.

"The secrecy was agreed to by nearly everyone involved, from utility executives to the governor’s office to a local elected official who knew about the talks with Meta and sold 300 acres of his own property for the project."

How do surveillance, censorship, and technologies of control get weaponized—and how do we push back? Justin Hendrix talks with Jonathon W. Penney, author of "Chilling Effects: Repression, Conformity, and Power in the Digital Age," about his roadmap for reform.

My voice available ⬇️ Hugging Face breach investigated with open Chinese models when US model guardrails got in the way. We discuss how this is inescapably entangled with US-China and safety and bubble discourse.

Hugging Face said a July breach was "driven, end to end, by an autonomous AI agent system." That system, it turned out, was operated by OpenAI. Vinh Nguyen and Graham Webster joined the Tech Policy Press podcast to discuss what the incident may mean for the geopolitics of AI governance.
