I’m a little late in posting this. Speaking about AI accountability policy — what it has to do with trustworthy AI and a theory of change to get it.

Important new action by @Ntiagov to develop policies to hold AI systems accountable for safety, fairness, privacy, explainability, and alignment with democracy. Part of Biden Administration’s push for #AccountableAI. https://ntia.gov/issues/artificial-intelligence/request-for-comments

Noa Landau at Haaretz prepares all of us who fight for liberal democracy in #Israel for the long slog of resistance.

The dream of a Jewish and democratic state in our homeland of eretz #israel has not been so threatened since the 1973 Yom Kippur war. Today, the threat comes from Bibi’s radical and ANGRY govt. They’re taking a 30k vote win and trying to dismantle judicial review: they’ll say what the law is and woe to liberals, minorities, women, freedom. #jerusalem mass protests. Including everyone. A charismatic crooked authoritarian is harnessing rage against elites and grievance… The shofar is BLASTING.
