The US senate voted 99-1 to strike the AI regulation ban from the budget bill.
The provision that passed the house would have threatened all states who pass AI Regulation with a withdrawal of infrastructure funding.

AI has now arrived in recruitment and HR, from automatically filtering job applicants to conducting interviews.
This raises many new ethical questions and challenges. Some thoughts after the symposium on “The use and ethics of AI” at Greenwich University, London, that took place yesterday.

The EU AI Liability Directive is, for now, dead. The European Commission has withdrawn its draft which was supposed to supplement the EU Artificial Intelligence Act in questions of liability.
Is the recently adopted EU Product Liability Directive (PLD), as some claim, enough?

New York passes the RAISE Act, setting the first legally enforceable AI transparency standards in the US. Major AI labs must publish safety reports and disclose incidents or face penalties up to $30M. Supporters say it boosts accountability; critics warn of stifled innovation. #AI #AISafety #TechPolicy #RAISEAct #ArtificialIntelligence #NYLegislation #AIRegulation #Transparency #TechNews #Innovation #OpenAI #Google #Anthropic

FIZ Karlsruhe nimmt Stellung zur EU-Konsultation über KI-Verordnung
Unsere Botschaft: GPAI-Modelle sollten nicht nur nach Rechenleistung reguliert werden.
Besser: risikobasierte Ansätze & Raum für offene Forschung.
Stellungnahme vom 22. Mai liefert Impulse für eine praxisnahe, innovationsfreundliche Regulierung.
For over a month now the UK government and the House of Lords have been locked in a battle over the proposed Data (Use and Access) Bill.
The House of Lords has blocked passage of the bill for five times in the process known as parliamentary ping-pong. While the fight is over #AI and #copyright, it generally concerns questions of transparency.

The educator panic over AI is real, and rational.
I've been there myself. The difference is I moved past denial to a more pragmatic question: since AI regulation seems unlikely (with both camps refusing to engage), how do we actually work with these systems?
The "AI will kill critical thinking" crowd has a point, but they're missing context.
Critical reasoning wasn't exactly thriving before AI arrived: just look around. The real question isn't whether AI threatens thinking skills, but whether we can leverage it the same way we leverage other cognitive tools.
We don't hunt our own food or walk everywhere anymore.
We use supermarkets and cars. Most of us Google instead of visiting libraries. Each tool trade-off changed how we think and what skills matter. AI is the next step in this progression, if we're smart about it.
The key is learning to think with AI rather than being replaced by it.
That means understanding both its capabilities and our irreplaceable human advantages.
1/3
AI isn't going anywhere. Time to get strategic:
Instead of mourning lost critical thinking skills, let's build on them through cognitive delegation—using AI as a thinking partner, not a replacement.
This isn't some Silicon Valley fantasy:
Three decades of cognitive research already mapped out how this works:
Cognitive Load Theory:
Our brains can only juggle so much at once. Let AI handle the grunt work while you focus on making meaningful connections.
Distributed Cognition:
Naval crews don't navigate with individual genius—they spread thinking across people, instruments, and procedures. AI becomes another crew member in your cognitive system.
Zone of Proximal Development
We learn best with expert guidance bridging what we can't quite do alone. AI can serve as that "more knowledgeable other" (though it's still early days).
The table below shows what this looks like in practice:
2/3
Critical reasoning vs Cognitive Delegation
Old School Focus:
Building internal cognitive capabilities and managing cognitive load independently.
Cognitive Delegation Focus:
Orchestrating distributed cognitive systems while maintaining quality control over AI-augmented processes.
We can still go for a jog or go hunt our own deer, but for reaching the stars we, the Apes do what Apes do best: Use tools to build on our cognitive abilities. AI is a tool.

"AI already helps #clinicians to make #diagnoses, triage critical cases & transcribe clinical notes.. But #regulation of #medical #AI products hasn't kept up w te rapid pace of adoption.. Unlike most other #FDA-regulated prods, AI tools continue to evolve aft approval as they r updated or retrained.. Tis raises te need for continuous #oversight..
