Recently I hosted a fantastic workshop at the Santa Fe Institute, entitled "AI and the Barrier of Meaning 2". Description below.
We had eminent speakers from many fields to discuss these issues, including AI, cognitive psychology, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, complex systems, and law.
Most of the talks are now on SFI's YouTube channel. Here's a link to the entire playlist:

Congressman George Santos Charged with Fraud, Money Laundering, Theft of Public Funds, and False Statements
Santos Allegedly Embezzled Contributions from Supporters, Fraudulently Obtained Unemployment Benefits, and Lied in Disclosures to the House of Reps

Indictment - USA against George Anthony Devolder Santos, also known as “George Santos” defendant
“This indictment seeks to hold Santos accountable for various alleged fraudulent schemes and brazen misrepresentations,” stated United States Attorney Peace. “Taken together, the allegations in the indictment charge Santos with relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself. He used political contributions to line his pockets, unlawfully applied for unemployment benefits that should have gone to New Yorkers who had lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and lied to the House of Representatives. My Office and our law enforcement partners will continue to aggressively root out corruption and self-dealing from our community’s public institutions and hold public officials accountable to the constituents who elected them.”
