Keen to hear from technologists thinking seriously about data governance, consent, & AI training. What does responsible AI development actually look like when the training data includes us? @danielvanstrien.bsky.social @emilyliu.me   (And anyone else thinking deeply about this.) tinyurl.com/3kd6fsbf

There are so many brilliant authors here on Bluesky, I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts on this. What do we do when our words are used without consent, credit, or compensation to train AI? @margaretatwood.bsky.social @joannechocolat.bsky.social @ianrankin1.bsky.social @doctorow.bsky.social

If you’ve ever created anything - a report, a blog post, a book - your work might already be training someone else’s AI. No credit. No consent. No pay. Here’s why it matters for all of us. #AI #DigitalRights #DataGovernance #EthicalTech #SydneyWritersFestival #AIethics medium.com/@kim_9194/us...

No lifeline should be this flimsy. We nearly lost CVEs—the global dictionary for vulnerability intelligence. This isn't just a funding crisis; it's a design flaw. If our entire cyber resilience plan depends on one fragile thread, it’s not resilience at all. Time for a rethink. tinyurl.com/y3dcfyxf

As I understand it, his actions hinge on the interpretation of both fed & state laws governing campaign finance & election integrity. (Though fed law permits significant independent expenditures, direct payments to voters are subject to state regs designed to prevent undue influence). I'm confused.

Just a reminder that Elon Musk is overseeing broad implementation of AI across government systems and that you’re reading this right now on one of the few social networks left not run by a US defense contractor or a company voluntarily providing data to an intelligence service.
