[ad_1] Article Metrics0CrossRef Citations When 54 international experts assessed AI-generated disinformation threats, they revealed a surprising pattern: while video deepfakes received the highest average threat ratings in the political domain (M = 6.31/7), the pattern differed in the health domain, where AI-generated text received the highest average rating (M = 5.80). Experts also fail to converge on what to do: government regulation drew the most “most effective” votes (30%) and substantial “least effective” selections (15%), exposing deep uncertainty about how to respond. These findings offer an initial expert map of an AI-disinformation landscape that is still rapidly forming. By Alexander LothFaculty of…

But experts told us the enrollment declines seen to date are largely due to other factors — including other Trump administration policies. Enrollment in Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act marketplace has indeed declined by about 8 million since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term. But most of the healthcare-related provisions of the OBBBA — which are eventually expected to cause millions…

[ad_1] Twenty-nine countries, led by China and Russia, signed on to create a new AI cooperation body based in Shanghai. The WAICO initiative is framed as a response to American tech dominance and a rival to Washington’s Pax Silica project. Chinese President Xi Jinping called for AI development to be a symphony of international cooperation rather than a solo act. China’s AI industry is growing fast but faces security concerns, while both the U.S. and China push competing global AI governance models.

[ad_1] As I reviewed the wall of receipts for cert denials, I noticed something of a pattern. In several cases, the Supreme Court denied certiorari over three dissenting votes. Invariably those three dissenters were Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch, though in some cases Justice Kavanaugh provides the third. Yet, a year or more later, the Court resolved the same or similar issue that was presented in another case. In recent years, the Court has taken to relisting a petition before granting it to make sure there are no vehicle problems. Indeed, some cases are relisted for months at end, only…
