President Trump's attempt to fire the Democratic members of the #FederalTradeCommission today is outrageous. The FTC is now the latest agency to see its Dem commissioners fired without cause, joining the Privacy & Civil Liberties Oversight Board, EEOC, Federal Election Commission, NLRB & more.

Headline from The Guardian reads: "Trump Fires FTC's only two Democrats - Fired members of Federal Trade Commission confirmed to be Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter"

Measuring whether an #AI system works fairly for all its users is a basic element of ensuring the AI system *actually works*.

Democracy relies on the freedom of the press. The Trump Administration's pressure on news outlets is increasing, part of a broader campaign to silence dissent. Our team at @cendemtech.bsky.social weighed in on the latest attack out of the #FCC: cdt.org/insights/cdt...

Surreal news: Super/Man - The Christopher Reeve Story won a #BAFTA! As we live through a time dominated by would-be strong men, I'm so grateful that this film shows what it *actually* means to be strong. That strength comes from valuing people and lifting them up - not demeaning and dividing them.

I spoke with @apnews.com at the #AIActionSummit. "We talk about the U.S. as a leader in AI innovation, but really what we're seeing is the U.S. cede its leadership in the international ecosystem. The collapse of USAID is the biggest gift the U.S. can give to China." www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B7l...

This weekend the #MunichSecurityConference hosted an important dialogue on #AI's impact on elections. On the one year anniversary of the AI & Elections Accord signed by 25+ companies to address threats of AI-driven election manipulation, we urged companies to keep up the work.

“We must not mistake what AI can do with whom AI should serve. The purpose of this power should be to benefit humanity.” @alondra.bsky.social spoke so powerfully at last week’s State Dinner for the #AIActionSummit. Read her full remarks below.

Thank you @jmargetta.bsky.social for showing so clearly what the gutting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau #CFPB will mean for consumers. This isn’t about efficiency; it’s a direct attack on consumers’ interests.

Screenshot from Washington Post reads: “I think the biggest misconception I’ve seen is that the [U.S. Doge Service] attack on CFPB has been about waste, fraud and abuse. CFPB is an agency that runs an incredibly lean budget and produces billions in dollars of relief. … Over its history, it’s returned $21 billion to consumers.”
