January 1 came and went and Texas’s AI regulation went into effect. There are a couple things to like about Texas’s attempt here. There are many things to dislike. One aspect in particular: The definition of AI seems to cover just about any software application, right? > TRAIGA broadly defines an “artificial intelligence system” as “any machine-based system that, for any explicit or implicit objective, infers from the inputs the system receives how to generate outputs, including content, decisions, predictions, or recommendations, that can influence physical or virtual environments.” Maybe it’s the legalese, but I’m trying to figure out what machine-based system doesn’t function like this. Does it all hinge on “infer” rather than another verb like “calculate?”
Hey y'all don't sleep on this one. **Agency Information Collection Activities: Vulnerability Reporting Submission Form** #CISA wants to know what your ideal vulnerability reporting system would look like. "CISA previously published this ICR in the Federal Register on October 30, 2024, for a 60-day public comment period. **CISA received one comment.** The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30-days for public comments." Man, remember October, 2024? Things were looking pretty great back then. What a time to be alive. Anyway, thanks for the extension, Kevin, ya big lug!
