"Human-AI Coevolution" is mentioned in the United Nation's Human Development Report: "A Matter of Choice: People and Possibilities in the Age of AI". Honored to see our work be a part of int'l discussions on the future of human-AI interactions & ethical development of intelligent systems.

Great to see our research on #DigitalIdentities and #Human-AIagents featured on the @acm.org homepage, including an interview with Connection Science Faculty Lead Hossein Rahnama.

See the full text of the bill here: leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTe...

"By establishing a 'third-way' governing model, independent experts will be able to devise strong safety standards that also promote innovation while still being accountable to government leaders."

A "first-of-its-kind AI governance framework that is both nimble and built upon proven regulatory models that will continue to spur innovation and incentivize AI platforms to comply with state-of-the-art requirements to identify, monitor, and mitigate known, foreseeable risks."

We shared how "we believe that the framework outlined in this legislation is a novel and promising approach to ensuring that advanced AI systems can be an engine for innovation, while also ensuring that California can mitigate the risk of real world harm to persons and property."

The bill will establish Multi-stakeholder Regulatory Organizations (MROs) within California; private, standards-setting bodies designed to provide legal and regulatory clarity, accountability, and agility in an era of exponential AI progress.
