The Canadian centre for policy alternatives is arguing that removing interprovincial trade barriers will create a “race to the bottom” that threatens health and workplace safety. Beyond being a tired and stale argument against free trade, accepting their argument would be

Contrary to what you may have heard, being connected to all the world's information has some benefits. From today's @Politico Digital Future Daily on the tragic Texas floods.

congrats to the conservatives who blocked the AI moratorium and opened the floodgates to woke AI mischief in the States. ACLU is now ready to pounce and help usher in the old Biden agenda state by state, undermining the effort by Congress & Admin to craft coherent natl policy.

“AI” and the end of days? My new column for Fox News: foxnews.com/opinion/mornin…

🇪🇺🇺🇸EU-US trade talks are all over the place: one day the EU is “open to negotiating its digital policy,” the next, “a deal is getting closer,” and then suddenly it’s “non-negotiable.” If confusion is the tactic, Brussels is nailing it. eutechloop.com/90daytariff/

Nice to see OH moving forward with a Right to Compute legislation. States should be working to unleash, rather than shackle this promising technology. The buckeye state doing its part to be a leader by laying out a welcome mat for innovation. Cc: Hannah Kubbins AFPOhio

Please clap for my intern Barbara's paper on the App Store Accountability Act. The bill seeks to promote competition in online app stores, a common goal with bills such as OAMA. But the question is what are the tradeoffs and whether current law can already address these harms.

Members of Congress wrote a letter to Musk about Grok's "MechaHitler" turn. They first demand that the posts be taken down. This is unacceptable. These are members of Congress acting in their official capacity; they have no business dictating what speech X publishes. Zero.

‘community-in-the-loop’ AI regulation is basically just NEPA for AI. See me essay below for more details about what’s really going on here. Once we have state AI community review boards and mandatory EU-style audits, it's the death of AI innovation nationally.

“Hands victory to Donald Trump” is a bit of an overstatement: 1. Introducing EU-wide digital service taxes would require difficult negotiations (despite all the Greenland comments making the Nordics, for example, think twice) that the EU cannot afford within the framework of

🚨The UK AISI identified four methodological flaws in AI "scheming" studies (deceptive alignment) conducted by Anthropic, MTER, Apollo Research, and others: "We call researchers studying AI 'scheming' to minimise their reliance on anecdotes, design research with appropriate

🤔 Forbes Russia writes that Russia and Belarus will aim to develop their own AI chatbots, based on “traditional values”, fearing the influence of American and Chinese AI products. 👉Read more about Russia's plans and limitations for AI here: eutechloop.com/russia-ai/

Last day in Vienna. I had to go trace my academic lineage, so went to find some OG Austrian Economists at the University of Vienna! Some epic dudes right here. 💫
