Democrats say supreme court rejection of Trump mail ballot plans will ensure ‘safe, secure and accurate elections’ – live
TL;DR
The Supreme Court on Monday blocked Trump's restrictions on mail ballots for the midterm elections, allowing states to keep sending ballots under the process used for years. Democrats say the ruling will ensure safe, secure and accurate elections. The live blog also covers AI: Senator Bernie Sanders and conservative podcaster Steve Bannon plan to jointly call for restrictions on AI systems at a Washington gathering on Tuesday.
Nauti's Take
When Sanders and Bannon share a stage, AI regulation becomes a genuinely cross-party issue. That is progress, because broad majorities for sensible safety rules become more realistic.
The risk is that a coalition built mainly on fear can quickly push blanket restrictions that hit research and smaller developers harder than the big labs. Companies in Europe should watch Washington closely, since US rules shape which models and features eventually arrive here too.
