If you believe this – like we do – then we welcome you to share with us your ideas. We know a thing or two about turning evidence-based, scientifically-backed ideas into tangible public policy. We did it in 1946. We can do it again. Scientists, the world needs you yet again.

This is why we exist. The McMahon Act. The Clean Air Act/s. When our president revealed the CIA was spying on people by opening their mail in the 70s. Now artificial intelligence. We believe scientists have a duty to prevent the fruits of their labor for being used for malice.

FRT algorithms aren't perfect. They won't ever be perfect. And even if they were perfect, the humans developing and implementing the algorithm aren't perfect. We are not ready to deploy this technology en masse without stringent policy and protocol guardrails.

If you are advocating for bringing Flock to your town, ask yourself how many life-ruining arrests you are willing to tolerate.

Federation of American Scientists @scientistsorg.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

With the introduction of Flock and other surveillance constellations, everyone should know how face recognition technology works. That is, how poorly even the best FRT algorithms perform inside and outside of laboratory settings.

Posting at you live from the millionth extremely hot day in DC: This is a problem that policy and lawmakers have to solve. It is only going to get worse. There are implications for public health, infrastructure, the economy, etc etc. There's no drinking-enough-water out of this. heatagenda.us

We made the former CDSOTUS (chief data scientist of the united states, obviously) tell you about another one of her favorite datasets. This one -- the National Wetlands Inventory -- is personal for her.

In just one week following the publication of our agenda, the headlines have shown it's more vital than we thought. One dangerous heat dome down, another already bubbling up. Headlines will keep looking like this until lawmakers act.

Melting train tracks. Strained power grids (with governors telling people to keep the A/C at 75° or else we're going to have to start planning blackouts). Buckling roads. Increased ER visits. These are not personal problems.

Tweet from Amtrak Northeast: "Travel Update: Due to temperature-related conditions, Trains 72, 74,76, 73, 75, and 77 are canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

Tweet from NY Governor Kathy Hochul: New York’s electric grid is under heavy strain as this heat wave drives up energy demand.

We’re asking New Yorkers to voluntarily conserve power by setting your A/C between 75–78°, avoiding unnecessary appliance use, and turning off lights and electronics when they’re not needed.

These small steps can help prevent outages, keep the power on, and protect the most vulnerable members of our communities.

My team is coordinating with Con Edison, NYISO, and New York City leaders to reduce demand across the grid.

CNN headline reading: ‘Extremely high’ rates of heat-related ER visits, CDC says, with more coming Saturday

Last weekend was hot. So hot. Climate change means we've got more weekends like that in our future. It'd be better if we didn't have climate change (working on it), but there's actually a surprising amount we can do to make extreme temps more bearable and less deadly right now. ➡️ HeatAgenda.us

It's hot. 3000-all-time-temperature-records-broken-this-year-alone hot. This year might even dethrone 2024 as the hottest on record. Drink all the water you want (really, do!) but extreme heat is not deterred by personal solutions... because it isn't a personal problem. It's a public policy one.

What exactly does “all lawful use” of AI mean? No one knows. “Lawful” is a legal floor that will look increasingly shaky as AI capabilities advance. It doesn’t answer whether we have adequate civil liberties guardrails or technical safety standards in place. Our statement: fas.org/publication/...
