The 8th Circuit gutted FCC anti-discrimination rules. Now unequal outcomes alone don’t count; only provable intentional bias does. Black and low-income neighborhoods can still get worse internet at higher prices. No written confession of racism = no remedy.

This trend of tech companies using AI to alter & appropriate the work of journalists is beyond disgusting (see also the Grammarly expert review debacle). I would like to hear from legal scholars whether rewriting headlines and creating AI summaries could call into question Section 230 protections.

AI’s potential in health is real, write Yewande O. Addie and Jasmine E. McNealy. But by implementing stronger governance now, African countries can ensure AI serves communities rather than displacing the cultural knowledge that sustains trust in health systems.
