IMO the problem is we stopped identifying & regulating utilities – probably because utilities are no longer national, but transnational concerns. This is the kind of thing we need to negotiate new treaties about – how to govern such entities. #transnationalUtilities #digitalGovernance #twitter

GPS is key to the global economy. It’s also surprisingly easy to attack.

Global Positioning System jamming is on the rise, highlighting risks to the U.S. economy from financial systems to civilian airline traffic.

This is why I don't think the solution is just breaking up companies. Though disaggregating their legal entity status along geographic / jurisdictional lines might be part of the solution of better governing this essential infrastructure. #transnationalUtilities #AIEthics #AGI
