"The #social-media industry spent a decade making its #toxic practices legally and politically untouchable. The children, parents, and loved ones of those harmed are now demanding #accountability. The question is whether #policymakers will respond before the #AI industry replicates the same model."

🌊 After the 2022 Oder environmental disaster: Research-based recommendations for #policymakers and #authorities handed over to Federal Environment Minister Carsten Schneider. Full details + research findings from the ODER~SO project: www.igb-berlin.de/en/news/afte...

In an open letter, the heads of leading #AI companies, scientists, and #biosecurity experts are imploring #policymakers to regulate them by law so that their machines do not develop #biochemical weapons.
They will likely receive praise and recognition for this, even though the whole premise is flawed. Human decency is sufficient to prevent such things—that is, the ability to restrain and control oneself.
The tragic reality, however, is that #decency is found only where it is unimportant. Once #power and the necessary means come into play, it stands no chance against #greed.

📉 CPC member Dr Bernice Kuang was called on to discuss whether #fallingbirthrates are really something to worry about, for the latest #TheRestisPolitics newsletter.
Bernice described how declining #birthrates should not provoke panic.
Instead, #policymakers should use them to devise big picture strategies to help #youngpeople have #children if and when they want to, alongside creating solutions to #care for #oldergenerations as they age.

@eff and 18 Organizations Urge #UK #Policymakers to Prioritize Addressing the Roots of Online Harm
#privacy #security -
'Rather than trying to “fix” falling #birthrates, #policymakers should prepare for an #older #population – from rethinking how #oldage support is funded, to enabling people to remain in #work for longer. “Simply telling people to have more #babies is unlikely to work,” said CPC-CG member Dr Bernice Kuang' (Department of #SocialStatistics and #Demography at the University of #Southampton), who spoke with #TheGuardian last week about the latest #ONS #PopulationProjections.

"Some #scientists choose to take part in civil disobedience, a form of peaceful #protest that involves deliberately breaking the #law to draw attention to an issue... Many scientists told me this move was driven by frustration with the limits of conventional #science #communication. Many had spent years publishing #research, advising #policymakers & engaging with the #media, yet saw little meaningful #political response."

"... Fixing our #throwaway economy requires our #policymakers to step up too.
... We want MPs to sign our #Repair and #Reuse #Declaration, which calls for specific #policies that could make repair and reuse more #accessible for all of us.
From expanding our Right to Repair to making repair more affordable, these policies enjoy overwhelming support from the British public and have been endorsed by well over 500 businesses, #community groups and political figures. ..."

How #worldorder looks after 2025
"postwar order carried te seeds of its demise. Authority was concentrated in Western‑led institutions tt claimed to speak for te world. #US #hegemony often led to overreach & #hubris.. confidence in US model's superiority obscured reality of domestic decay.. 2008 #GFC was an early warning. US #policymakers stabilised te system but didn't repair it. #Inequality rose & #politics grew angrier.. #Globalisation entrenched a #lopsided bargain"🇺🇸🤦♂️
