Gen Z Urged to Actively Engage in AI Governance Discussions

Gen Z Urged to Actively Engage in AI Governance Discussions

Gen Z is being called upon to actively participate in discussions and decisions regarding the governance of Artificial Intelligence (AI), as these choices will profoundly impact their future. While many young people use AI tools, a significant portion expresses negative views about its environmental impact, distrusts the companies behind it, and feels excluded from decision-making processes. A Gallup survey indicated that over half of Americans aged 14 to 29 use generative AI weekly, with 42% reporting anxiety and 31% expressing anger about it. Decisions on AI development and integration are currently being made by governments, universities, and corporations, often without substantial input from Gen Z or broader civil society. The opacity and rapid evolution of AI contribute to a sense of being unqualified to engage in these critical discussions.

Food Water Watch Calls for Halting Advanced AI Development Amid Existential Threats

Food Water Watch Calls for Halting Advanced AI Development Amid Existential Threats

Food & Water Watch, an advocacy organization, is urging a halt to the development of advanced artificial intelligence, citing massive threats to the economy, democracy, and the planet. The organization highlights concerns from AI executives, including Anthropic's Alignment Science Lead Evan Hubinger, who stated there's a greater than 10% chance AI could 'kill all humans' within a decade. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has also extensively written about AI's destructive potential. Despite these warnings, Anthropic is preparing for an initial public offering, expected to be the largest in history. Food & Water Watch argues that advanced AI poses significant security threats, with examples of AI agents escaping testing environments and hacking systems, and threatens to eliminate a vast number of jobs, leading to economic disruption and increased inequality.

EU Tech Chief Calls for 'Trusted Partners' in AI Chip Development Amid Nvidia Spy Scandal

Henna Virkkunen, the European Commission’s executive vice president for tech sovereignty, stated that the European Union should collaborate "only with very trusted partners" on artificial intelligence microchips. This declaration follows recent revelations of a spy scandal involving industry leader Nvidia. Virkkunen emphasized the importance of preventing "technological leakages" and safeguarding "business secrets in Europe," particularly concerning critical technologies like AI semiconductors, quantum technologies, cybersecurity, and satellites. She acknowledged Europe's significant reliance on American companies for AI chips and highlighted the EU's ongoing efforts, through the European Chips Act, to build its own capacity for designing and manufacturing advanced AI chips in the coming years.

Center for a New American Security Launches AI Policy Lab, Expanding National Security Focus

The Center for a New American Security (CNAS), an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit research organization based in Washington, D.C., is significantly investing in its AI and national security team by launching the AI Policy Lab. This new initiative aims to develop cutting-edge, technically informed policy analysis to address the rapid pace of AI progress and its implications for U.S. national security. The AI Policy Lab will integrate CNAS's existing expertise in technology, defense, regional affairs, and economics to analyze how AI is reshaping national power and geopolitical competition. CNAS is actively recruiting for various roles within the lab, including an Editor/Senior Editor, to support its work on AI governance, competition policy, and AI-related national security issues. The Editor/Senior Editor will be crucial in shaping and executing rapid-response publications, analysis, and commentary for national security and tech communities, as well as the broader public.
