Two federal judges acknowledged AI-generated court orders contained serious errors, prompting calls from Sen. Chuck Grassley for stronger judicial artificial intelligence policies.

In October, 2020, Bob Ferguson, the attorney general of Washington State, launched an initiative to combat "election interference." A press release noted Donald Trump's repeated claims that the coming election would be "rigged" against him, leading many of Ferguson's constituents to fear that the result was being delegitimized in advance. In response, Ferguson pledged to defend "the longstanding American tradition of a peaceful transition of power." This year, Ferguson ran for governor of Washington, as a Democrat. So, too, did Bob Ferguson, and Bob Ferguson.

OpenAI whistleblowers have urged the US financial watchdog to investigate non-disclosure agreements at the startup after claiming the contracts included restrictions such as requiring employees to seek permission before contacting regulators. Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) typically bar an employee from sharing company information with outside parties but a group of whistleblowers are arguing that OpenAI's agreements could have led to workers being punished for raising concerns about the company to federal authorities. San Francisco-based OpenAI is the developer of the ChatGPT chatbot and a key player in the artificial intelligence boom, which has been accompanied by expressions of concern from experts about the potential dangerous capabilities of the technology. "Given the well-documented potential risks posed by the irresponsible deployment of AI, we urge the Commissioners to immediately approve an investigation into OpenAI's prior NDAs, and to review current efforts apparently being undertaken by the company to ensure full compliance with SEC rules," the letter to Gary Gensler, the chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said. The letter from whistleblower representatives was sent on 1 July and published by the Washington Post on Saturday after the news organisation obtained it from the office of the US senator Chuck Grassley.

Former El Paso U.S. Marshal Robert Almonte reacts to the latest report on border encounters from CBP. FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa., is seeking information from top border and homeland security agencies about the potential threat posed by drones operated by terrorist groups and cartels at the southern border amid heightened awareness of a terror threat in recent weeks. Grassley sent letters to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) citing reports that Mexican cartels have increased their use of the drones at both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. "These drones are used by the cartels to carry out targeted assassinations and violent attacks by dropping explosives in Mexico, monitor and gain reconnaissance on the movements of U.S. Border Patrol agents and other U.S. law enforcement officers, and track the progress of their smugglers illegally crossing into the U.S.," he said. Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote to Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Department of Homeland Security has noted the use of drones by cartels as a threat to the U.S. in its FY 24 threat assessment.

AI is defining the future, even as many US senators struggle to understand it in the present. "It would have been better if it had been held in a room where the acoustics were better," Senator Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, says of a much-anticipated--if overdue--All-Senators AI briefing orchestrated by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer earlier this month. The shoddy acoustics of the first of three closed-door meetings--kept private to insulate senators from electoral pressure to perform before cameras--were far from Grassley's biggest complaint. "I would say that the next [one] will be more valuable, because this was a very general overview," he says. As AI expands its foothold across industries, households, and legislative bodies--including amongst some at the Capitol itself--Congress is under pressure to act quickly, even though many lawmakers still don't know what they're being asked to regulate.

Political pressure on Facebook continued to intensify as a key Senator invited CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify before Congress and a regulatory agency confirmed it had launched an investigation. The scrutiny stems from revelations that a political consultancy employed by Donald Trump's presidential campaign harvested some 50 million Facebook users' worth of data via a survey app. As Facebook executives have scrambled to reassure users their personal information remains protected, elected officials have demanded Mr Zuckerberg himself appear before Congress. That push gained momentum with the embrace of Senator Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican who chairs the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee. Paralleling the augmented attention from Congress, the Federal Trade Commission confirmed it had opened an investigation into Facebook's privacy and data security practices.
