The Future of AI Innovation Act and the NSF AI Education Act will help ensure the United States has the infrastructure, talent, and policy framework needed to lead responsibly.

AI and emerging digital technologies are set to increase employment overall in Europe, but the gains will be uneven, benefiting mainly high skilled, prime-age workers and women, while low skilled and young workers, and structurally weaker regions rem...

We all know generative AI will destroy certain jobs and will create new jobs.

What’s changing isn’t the number of jobs, it’s what those jobs expect from people.

Undoubtedly we’re going to have to think really carefully about how we soft-land those industries that go away, so some sort of [universal basic income], some sort of lifelong mechanism as well so people can retrain.

While uncertainty surrounds AI’s impact on jobs, adaptability remains the only viable approach.

AI is automating sub-skills created during the industrial age, making macro skills such as systemic thinking and imagination critical.

Where the CSIRT receives notification of an incident under regulation 11, 11A, 12A, or 14E that materially involves autonomous or adaptive systems based on machine learning, the CSIRT must share relevant technical information with the AI Security Ins...

Timelines for incident reports are often set with well-intentioned urgency, but if they implicitly assume that root-cause analysis or full impact assessment has already been conducted, they will either produce premature and unreliable reports or plac...

I appreciate the intent behind the amendments and the shadow Minister’s position of understanding but not supporting them, which I share.

AI is already changing how people work, and it's bringing real risks: massive job losses, increased workplace surveillance, and weaker bargaining power for workers. We need to get ahead of it. That means investing in workforce training, strengthening...

Policymakers should not focus on slowing the development of AI through an AI compute tax; they should focus on helping workers transition to a labor force increasingly augmented by AI.

Future models may be really good at nuclear-related threats, so, for us, when we think about it broadly as a government, we have to build that capacity across a wide variety of technical domains to test these models.

The draft implementing regulation should clearly differentiate between API access, which should be the preferred method for safety evaluations where access to documents and relevant information are deemed insufficient, and “further” means of access, ...

To guarantee access to frontier models and mitigate the risks of major power concentrations, middle powers must collaborate to form a broad coalition with shared values and complementary resources.

As a result, concentrated economic power in one or two countries could trigger economic and social crises elsewhere, unless the economic benefits of AI are globally shared or at least unless the same level of AI competence is available at an equitabl...

AI tools can no longer “excessively cater to users, induce emotional dependence or addiction, and damage users’ real interpersonal relationships,” while also banning virtual relationships with minors.

Children have given us a clear diagnosis of the problem. They aren't asking us to block AI innovation, but it shouldn't be a case of cleaning up the mess after harm has happened either.

No company should deploy an AI system accessible to children without child-specific safety testing and independent oversight.

We have a kill switch that stops AI agents that go rogue, so those things don’t need to happen, and they wouldn’t happen when companies run ServiceNow.

In that situation, the concept of a kill switch is meaningless.

We believe that the state has failed the millions of poor working age adults because of its continued refusal to upgrade the R370 grant into a decent universal basic income, indexed to the Lower Bound Poverty Line at introduction.

Universal basic income is a policy prescription that those people calling for it tended to believe in years earlier, before they had even heard of AI, and now it fits this scenario. I do not know what the outcomes and therefore the mitigations of AI ...

We oppose New York State instituting a Universal Basic Income.

Big Tech has built a massive surveillance economy to track, package and sell deeply detailed information about our movements, purchases, preferences, and relationships. Now, out of control federal agencies are buying this data to evade constitutional...

When I was in justice, my ultimate vision for that part of the criminal justice system was to achieve, by means of AI and technology, what Jeremy Bentham tried to do with his Panopticon. That is that the eyes of the state can be on you at all times. ...

As AIs grow more autonomous and dangerous, the government must have the power to shut them down when they threaten national security. The AI Kill Switch Act gives the U.S. government powers to do just that: a common sense action that Americans overwh...

Industry discourse often presents “Human-in-the-Loop” as the ultimate safeguard for AI deployment, yet this is a dangerous fallacy in high-velocity agentic systems.

The vote marks an important step in the EU’s internal procedure for concluding the Framework Convention and reflects institutional support for the first international legally binding treaty addressing artificial intelligence in the context of human r...

The U.S. and China won’t move in lockstep on AI safety, and forging mutually binding agreements with real teeth is probably not possible right now.

A media environment with more false and deceptive information is not a good thing for our society, but it is not the government's job to fix it. [...] Let's trust the American people, not the government, to decide for themselves how AI should be used...
