Unlike every other industry, when it comes to AI systems, safety claims rest entirely on evaluations companies run themselves or on company-selected vendors for third-party assessments. It's time for a new approach, say @NicholasPGarcia & @CarolineSSingh.

The disappointing outcome of the multiyear Google ad-tech antitrust case is the latest example of antitrust enforcement alone being insufficient to rein in Big Tech. It's time for a digital regulator, says Audrey Black in her latest blog post:

In the wake of 9/11, Congress passed the FirstNet Authority statute with the goal of creating a nationwide broadband network, so that first responders could communicate with each other at any place, no matter what network they used. Now, that authority is set to expire.
Despite the statute's lofty goals, FirstNet is still not truly interoperable. This is Congress' opportunity to fix that, says @haroldfeld in his latest blog post:

Today, @SenThomTillis and @RepZoeLofgren introduced the DEFEND IP Act of 2026, which would allow rightsholders to secure “blocking orders” against foreign websites accused of copyright infringement.
“For the second time in as many weeks, rightsholders have convinced Congress to build out an expansive infrastructure for censorship rather than go after the root of the problem: operators of overseas piracy websites.” Read our statement from @M_F_Rose:

A co-author of AI Snake Oil, his groundbreaking research was among the first to show how machine learning reflects cultural stereotypes. Like his fellow co-author and -awardee Sayash Kapoor, he was named to @TIME's inaugural list of the 100 most influential people in AI.
Reports indicate that a group of 12 state attorneys general resolved its antitrust lawsuit against Paramount/@Skydance to halt its acquisition of @wbd. The suit alleged that the merger would cause serious harm to competition, raise prices, & reduce quality film and TV content.
Last week, Public Knowledge joined a coalition in sending Senate leaders a clear redline: Any AI framework needs mandatory, binding, enforceable safety standards for advanced AI, and states must keep the right to regulate beyond the federal floor.
