Thrilled for @RSI to launch a new working group to explore the nexus between cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, which brings together experts from civil society, industry, academia, and government. #cyber #AI

At @Forum_Global’s Data Privacy Conference, @MarshaBlackburn conveyed the benefits of a federal privacy law with preemption - especially with AI advancements. She shared concerns with @FTC action around privacy without Congress. #DataUSA23

Privacy Should Be a Fundamental Right for All, Not Just for Elites

Congress needs to pass a comprehensive federal privacy law that protects all Americans.

My op-ed published by @inkstickmedia argues that privacy laws shouldn't just protect elites - we need comprehensive protections for all. https://t.co/9YRvyYpxzJ

There was a discussion on "know your customers" and US companies selling emerging technologies to foreign adversaries and the security threats that could develop from those transactions.

[Steven Ward @sward6]

I look forward to hearing from the always-insightful @hartzog at today's Senate Judiciary Oversight Hearing on "AI: Legislating on Artificial Intelligence." I will tweet out any AI and privacy/security discussions.

@SenHawleyPress asks @BradSmi if @Microsoft should "decouple" its China business ops; He responded that if you want to protect US jobs that rely on products sold in China, then you want a US company safeguard the data that is derived from those transactions.

We often read about nation-state backed breaches and disruptions, but these are the things we don't usually hear about: silently deploying bespoke cyber tools in preparation for war https://t.co/EdlitavPCa
