Reuters reports on AI medical devices botching procedures and diagnoses. FDA AI red team was mostly DOGED out of existence. Important source for the story was the FDA adverse event database -- so important to collect adverse incidents for AI safety. https://www.reuters.com/investigations/ai-enters-operating-room-reports-arise-botched-surgeries-misidentified-body-2026-02-09/

A piece of the great, just passed, Fred Schauer I’ve always loved is The Institutional First Amendment. The distinct functions of institutions need to bear on free speech protections. Press, university, corporation, person are all different. Along with Robert Post, he was the finest FA theorist. ❤️ https://scholarship.law.umn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1681&context=mlr

We're thrilled to publish Sylvie Delacroix's brilliant and outside-the-box legal meditation on how water policy can be applied to the theorization and implementation of DATA RIVERS. /9
Some thoughts on Loper Bright and AI policy. TLDR: AI EO work largely unaffected. Need for more legislative authority and express delegations of interpretive authority increased. More power to states. https://fedscoop.com/chevron-downfall-highlights-clear-ai-law-need/
The US govt project I led at NTIA has given birth! The report/ recommendations on AI accountability policy is out. It’s a synthesis of hundreds of stakeholder comments and consultations, research across disciplines, and agency input. Will be reformatting the pdf to make it more accessible. https://www.ntia.gov/issues/artificial-intelligence/ai-accountability-policy-report
Really interesting how Biden is using visa restrictions to make policy — here to penalize use of surveillance tech to spy on journalists. https://apnews.com/article/biden-commercial-spyware-visa-blinken-a725b3f22cc2a9420be4f35af8a78096
US rolls out visa restriction policy on people who abuse spyware to target journalists, activists
The Biden administration is rolling out a new policy that will allow it to impose visa restrictions on foreign individuals involved in the misuse of commercial spyware. The new policy announced Monday will apply to individuals who’ve been involved in the misuse of commercial spyware to target people including journalists, activists, perceived dissidents, members of marginalized communities, or the family members of those who are targeted. Officials said the visa restrictions could also apply to individuals who facilitate or get financial benefit from the misuse of commercial spyware. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the administration is concerned about the growing misuse of commercial spyware to facilitate repression.
