Kinda agree with the administration here. As much as it’s commendable that the UN wants to tackle AI governance, there are already existing UN institutions in technology that could be leveraged. #AI #technology #governance devex.com/news/exclusive…

It will be interesting to see how where State Department spends these funds (which isn’t enough to tackle the range of cyber issues) #cyber #AI therecord.media/cyber-foreign-…

While articles such as this are definitely helpful, I’m worried (esp this year of elections) that reporting so much on #disinfo w/o addressing how to strengthen democracy with more detail is leading people to think no sources are authentic/useful economist.com/leaders/2024/0…

in analyzing the #informationspace, researchers and other experts often forget or don't realize they should move past social media to look at other means in which misleading information could be spread. good article by Vox capturing this issue: vox.com/culture/241285…

Terrible at promoting the things I do, but was incredibly honored recently to travel to Sweden at the invitation of the Department of State to speak on AI, democracy, elections, and the information space with fantastic groups of experts: linkopingsciencepark.se/ai-east-and-ai…

This week I had the privilege of discussing AI, democracy, foreign influence operations, and elections with over 200 Brazilian journalists, students, and professors. Thanks Educational & Cultural Affairs—U.S. Dept. of State and World Learning for the invitation and support!

To state the obvious, another example of how advances in technology are enabling more malicious targeting by state (and nonstate) actors. Very concerning overall but especially in targeting politicians on sensitive issues punchbowl.news/article/washin…

Looking forward to reading the book this article is based off. Most of the solutions presented in the article are pretty standard in this topical area, but there are 1-2 that are new and hope the books dives more deeply into them foreignaffairs.com/brazil/big-tec…
