[Giovanni Rocco @GRoccooo]

As my time at @Interior comes to an end, I am filled with gratitude.

Grateful to have served in the Biden-Harris administration, grateful for the phenomenal people I served with, and grateful for the unbelievable experiences made.

I feel like a lucky man.

@Ximena_Bustillo @BLaw Excited for you! Congrats on the new gig

AI’s risks – just like its benefits – do not respect borders.

Ahead of the U.S.-China summit, ARI President @bradrcarson is urging @SecScottBessent to put catastrophic AI risk on the agenda, including four steps to reduce the growing dangers of AI:

@Rob_Flaherty If a Dem advisor is saying go softer on AI regulations, they need to get fired

[Americans for Responsible Innovation @americans4ri]

The capabilities are here. The warning lights are flashing. AI risks are real and immediate.

In Fortune today, @bradrcarson calls on Congress to require safeguards before the next AI failure causes widespread harm.

Voluntary commitments aren’t enough.

JUST IN: Anthropic says they’re highly profitable if you take out some of their biggest expenses.

Now let’s imagine this statement, but instead of “tech” and “AI,” replace them with “aircraft manufacturers” and “planes.”

Tech companies must be responsible for AI safety, Mike Johnson says, not Congress https://t.co/Rl7YXeCJa8

[Americans for Responsible Innovation @americans4ri]

“The commitments proposed today by Anthropic and OpenAI are incredible steps forward, but lawmakers must act quickly to enshrine these agreements into law and establish government-set safety standards.”

What would happen if a frontier AI governance framework was law of the land, requiring action before a risky model was released to the public?

Welcome to The Frontier Scenario, ARI's fictional account of frontier AI development and governance:

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

NEW from @americans4ri: On the heels of a string of AI cyber incidents at leading AI companies, ARI today released a comprehensive federal policy framework to address the growing risks from frontier AI.

[Americans for Responsible Innovation @americans4ri]

NEW: Today ARI released a blueprint for federal AI governance, including three pillars that promote safe frontier AI development:

✅ Standards set by the government
✅ Independent assurance they are met
✅ Transparency into frontier AI development

Frontier labs test their own models for biological risk and set their own limits, with no federal baseline behind them.

As the White House takes up AI bioengineering risk, Congress must help close that gap. @politico

[Giovanni Rocco @GRoccooo]

It's possible to run a high-performing team while also respecting and soliciting the views and expertise of career officials. The disregard of Interior's career staffers, many of whom have dedicated decades to public service, is unnecessary and counterproductive.

[POLITICO @politico]

Jeanine Pirro berated Doug Burgum. But Interior staffers have been angry at him for months. https://t.co/qUdHFvuP96

TRUMP: GOOD CHANCE SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN

[Americans for Responsible Innovation @americans4ri]

Congress is considering a variety of federal framework proposals to govern frontier AI. What makes a framework proposal adequate?

ARI today released a set of minimum conditions a federal framework must meet to serve the public interest.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.
