A brave proposal of dealing with AI at global level. Be the GAIO more effective than the IPCC!

[Geoff Mulgan @geoffmulgan]

Here I share work underway over the last few months on creating a global AI observatory - an 'IPCC for AI' - as a precondition for other steps on regulation, standards etc, and an alternative to the vague handwringing of so much recent commentary. https://t.co/2y15Xb1163

Important news for the German “traffic light coalition” negotiators! Watch out for quality control when reviewing regulations…

#OutNow 📢 Regulatory Policy Outlook 2021

Report finds that only a few countries fully assess if rules and #regulations work in practice. Reviewing existing regulations is crucial for improving both current and future rules.

Next week @BBCRadio4 @claudiahammond are asking if kindness has a place in the worlds of business and politics. Emphatically yes - and in public services too. At @CarnegieUKTrust we’ve been talking about this since 2016. https://t.co/yFFtRpSUjq

Headline of the day.

[Rolf Alter @raltergov]

The German Green Party reports a record 1 mill € contribution from a party member for their national election campaign. The donor says the donation comes from wealth he „did not deserve“ (Bitcoin deals). A remarkable reasoning for a sponsorship.
