Strengthening democratic oversight in national security

OpenAI 2 months ago 14 ● 2 sources

OpenAI launched an initiative to provide government institutions with tools, training, and expertise for democratic oversight of AI in national security applications. The program includes funding and resources to help elected officials and civil society understand and govern AI deployment in defense contexts. This aims to ensure elected bodies can effectively scrutinize AI use in security matters rather than leaving decisions solely to technical experts.

ChinaTalk 2 months ago 43 ● 8 sources

China's AI funding surge, driven by government industrial policy since 2017, resembles a financial bubble with 80,000 AI companies dissolved in two years, but the concentrated state capital deployment through guidance funds is intentional strategy rather than market dysfunction. The National AI Industry Investment Fund launched in January 2025 with 60 billion yuan, followed by a 100 billion yuan venture capital guidance fund, as Beijing uses state-controlled capital to build AI capability and reduce foreign dependence. Short-term incentives embedded in the funding structure—local officials' three-to-five-year cadre cycles and venture firms' redemption clauses on 80 percent of deals—compress patient capital timelines and drive bubble-like dynamics that prioritize quick returns over long-term AI development.

The legislation is set to expand beyond social media to include artificial intelligence and chatbots as Torrez pursues additional cases over Meta data privacy and an AI chatbot harm claim involving children.
