What if an AI system works exactly as designed — and still causes harm? At the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, ACM's Technology Policy Council pushed the field to expand what "AI safety" actually means. 🧵

Three years since ACM USTPC published its 13 principles for generative AI. The landscape has changed: agentic systems, reasoning models, the EU AI Act rolling out, and synthetic data everywhere. Where do these principles still hold? Full document: www.acm.org/binaries/con...

What if an AI system works exactly as designed — and still causes harm? At the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, ACM's Technology Policy Council pushed the field to expand what "AI safety" actually means. 🧵

Headline Should governments build their own AI or buy from Big Tech? A new @ACM Technology Policy Council framework gives decision-makers a structured answer — and it's more nuanced than either side admits.#AIGovernance #TechPolicy #DigitalSovereignty 🧵

Congratulations to Ricardo Baeza-Yates on receiving the 2025 ACM Luiz André Barroso Award! He is recognized for his pioneering contributions to algorithms and information retrieval and his leadership in fostering a vibrant transnational research community across Latin America. awards.acm.org/barroso

The Monthly TechNews Policy Digest is out and covers 200+ articles, 8 domains, and 30+ countries. We keep up with policy updates so you don't have to. www.linkedin.com/pulse/march-...

A federal AI framework is necessary. But a moratorium on state AI regulation would backfire. @acmpolicy's new op-ed explains why — and what Congress should do instead. 🧵 #AIPolicy #TechPolicy

Voice-to-text AI is in hospitals, courtrooms, hiring platforms & cars. But accuracy gaps across speaker groups raise serious equity concerns. New #TechBrief examines what policymakers need to know. 🧵 #ASR #AIPolicy #AIPolicy #HealthIT dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10....

AI transcription tools are generating text that was never spoken. One tool used in 7M+ patient visits. Doctors can't detect fabrications — audio is deleted for privacy. @acmpolicy on ASR hallucinations. #AIPolicy #HealthIT dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10....

The EU AI Act's Implementing Regulation has a technical problem. ACM's Europe Tech Policy Committee just filed its analysis — and the findings matter for every AI provider in Europe. 🧵 #EUAIAct

The EU AI Act's draft rules could expose AI systems to the risks they aim to prevent. ACM's Europe TPC breaks down the technical gaps, from DoS-risk API access to impossible 14-day forensic deadlines. Independent expertise matters. shorturl.at/I80R9 #EUAIAct #AIGovernance

China is drafting rules for AI systems that act human. @acmpolicy's Asia-Pacific Tech Policy Subcommittee has responded — with 6 technical recommendations to strengthen the Measures. A thread on what's at stake. 🧵

Vannevar Bush's "Science: The Endless Frontier" shaped NSF's mission for years — and for good reason. USTPC's response to NSF's draft 2026–2030 plan makes the case that abandoning that vision for short-term applied gains sacrifice America's long-term leadership. #TechPolicy #NSF shorturl.at/EEIvj

🧵 ACM just responded to NIST's RFI on benchmarking AI: current AI evaluation best practices have critical blind spots. Our feedback to their RFI on automated benchmarks flags 4 major gaps that could undermine safety claims and regulatory compliance. Here's what we're saying.

Highlights from discussion @acm.org rg on #EU Digital Omnibus: What exactly is the "Digital Omnibus"? Michelle Michel explains that this isn't just one law but a set of amendments aimed at making Europe more competitive by streamlining overlapping rules. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uUT...

Webinar: "Europe's Digital Omnibus: New Digital Regime or Simplification?" The EU wants to untangle AI, GDPR, NIS2 & data law in one move. Is that even possible without losing accountability? We think there's a lot to unpack. #DigitalOmnibus #TechPolicy March 19 4:00 CET shorturl.at/Grp3c

The Cyber Safety Review Board is dormant, and that's a cybersecurity risk in itself. ACM US Tech Policy Committee is calling for the CSRB to be reactivated and given a permanent legislative foundation, subpoena power, and full-time expert staff. shorturl.at/ufrs8 #Cybersecurity #CSRB #TechPolicy

Buying vs. Building AI: How should governments navigate the LLM frontier? New ACM TechBrief offers a deep dive into the strategic choices facing nations today—balancing control, cost, and capability. Essential reading for policy makers: dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.... #AI #Policy #SovereignAI #Tech

Computing experts call for clearer, tech-grounded standards in Evidence Rule 707 for handling digital evidence in court. #TechPolicy @ACMorg www.acm.org/binaries/con...
