At the podium NOW: Senator
Mark Kelly (D-AZ) talking about the disruption AI could cause (e.g. jobs, electricity prices, warfare, logistics, cybersecurity, etc.). Can we have speed AND responsibility? Can we fix Dept. of Defense procurement?

Glad I was able to attend part of this in-person even though the current (global) panel is 100% virtual. I came for the box lunch and the cookies but I stayed for some very useful insights. #ArtificialIntelligence #TechFutures

@alexreevegivens.bsky.social, Center for Democracy and Technology, lists some VERY scary examples of abuse of personal and IT systems. E.g., DOGE boys added 7,000 names of LIVING people to the "master death list", stopping them from getting Federal benefits, credit cards, etc.

A very important, fascinating, and data-filled discussion about an energy option with great potential. One speaker compared #geothermal today to oil shale in 2000--early days and LOTS of skeptics.

The next panel explored "Governance of AI". Glad there was ample time for Q&A and that they found time to ask (and sorta answer) my question. Maybe Bank of America and Palantir should have been on the panel?
