BABL AI’s Post

On July 23rd, the White House released America's AI Action Plan. Of particular note were the sections regarding the promotion of rapid buildouts of data centers as well as the goal of removing onerous Federal regulations that can hinder AI development and deployment. AI systems are only as good as the data they’re trained on. Without high-quality and well-structured data, AI cannot function effectively resulting in poorly made biased decisions, or worse- failure altogether. Adequate data center capacity and ease of data acquisition would ease some of the challenges; however, not answer all the obstacles when it comes to data inputs into AI models. At ANDECO Institute, our team stands ready to guide USG groups through the nuances of data analysis to drive unbiased data purchase recommendations in an efficient way through the use of unique contracting vehicles. #data #AI #guidance https://lnkd.in/ewxX4fAF

Sen. Cruz Introduces New AI Policy Framework to Enhance U.S. Leadership in Artificial Intelligence https://lnkd.in/g5Cpz9Kj Unleashing American Innovation: The SANDBOX Act for AI Development On July 23, 2025, U.S. Senate Chairman Ted Cruz introduced the SANDBOX Act, a pivotal legislative proposal aiming to revolutionize artificial intelligence in America. This framework champions innovation by easing federal regulations on AI developers while ensuring accountability. Key Highlights: Regulatory Sandbox: A space for developers to test new technologies without bureaucratic hurdles. Five Pillars: The framework outlines essential aspects for guiding AI policy. Collaboration: The Office of Science and Technology Policy will streamline regulation adjustments. Support from Industry Leaders: Backed by organizations like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Information Technology Council (ITI). Cruz emphasized the urgency: “If we don’t lead in AI, our values risk being overshadowed by regimes that prioritize control.” The SANDBOX Act is a crucial step toward ensuring that American innovation flourishes while safeguarding public interests.

📑NEW BRIEFING: AI Openness and the UK AI Bill Today, we publish our UK AI Bill policy briefing, on the same day the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation announces its UK AI Assurance Roadmap. 🔷 See the government policy paper: https://lnkd.in/eW7GJXNH 🔷 Read our briefing: https://lnkd.in/efJCY8Zq This Briefing from Demos Digital describes how open-source AI innovation delivers substantial benefits for UK AI industry goals and public benefit, including: ➡️ Driving innovation to serve diverse public needs ➡️ Supporting AI industry growth ➡️ Enabling flexible AI adoption for public benefit ➡️ Acting as an economic multiplier ➡️ Strengthening tech sovereignty by nurturing an open-source AI ecosystem that serves as a viable counterpoint to over-reliance US big tech Critically, it considers how to strike the right balance – ensuring open-source AI development is well-regulated but not overburdened, enabling responsible innovation while safeguarding public and economic interests.

AI in the public sector isn’t theory anymore — it’s practice. 🌍⚙️ Around the world, real systems are live and shaping outcomes. Let’s look at what governments are actually doing 👇 🇨🇦 Canada → Every federal automated decision system must go through the Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA) 📝. Higher-risk projects need peer review, transparency reports, and public disclosure. 📘 Canada also launched its AI Strategy for the Federal Public Service 2025-2027, covering procurement, ethics, bias checks, and Indigenous Data Sovereignty. 🇸🇬 Singapore → Deploying citizen-facing AI services with strong governance frameworks 🏢. 🇺🇸 US → Released the AI Accountability Playbook this summer 📑, guiding federal agencies on risk, transparency, and audits. 🌐 Studies (OECD, Springer, Global Government Forum) show the same pattern: where external accountability is strong, trust goes up. Where it’s weak, adoption stalls. 🚦 💡 The biggest difference between “AI policy on paper” and “AI in practice” is external accountability. Without independent audits + citizen visibility, frameworks are just promises. ⚡ Pro tip: Before any public AI system goes live, demand: 1️⃣ A plain-language summary of the AIA so citizens can actually understand it. 2️⃣ Independent oversight — not just internal checks. 3️⃣ A feedback loop so people can challenge or appeal AI-assisted decisions. 📚 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gm5Zpczx 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gXDXsPTM 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g4DPCe3m #AI #MachineLearning #GenerativeAI #PublicSectorAI #CaseStudies #AIGovernance #Transparency #AIforGood

Global AI Partnership: The Plan to Avert an AI Cold War GLOBAL AI PARTNERSHIP: From Fragmentation to Framework In the race for AI dominance, strategic unity is the only path to victory. For business leaders, the promise of AI comes with great risk. The world is splitting into competing groups, each with its own rules for artificial intelligence. As a result, this chaos creates a nightmare of confusing regulations and threatens to start a new "AI Cold War." The main problem for global business is this digital divide. This expert analysis, therefore, explains the clear solution: the vital Global AI Partnership between the United States and the European Union. This new framework is designed to move from chaos to stability. The New Cold War: How a Divided World Is Crippling AI Innovation The world's three major tech groups—the US, the EU, and China—are all going in different directions. For example, China is pushing a state-controlled model focused on surveillance. In contrast, the EU has passed the detailed, rights-based EU AI Act. Meanwhile, the United States supports a more innovation-friendly approach using the NIST AI Ris... https://lnkd.in/dhf2cjf6 #GlobalAIPartnership #AIImageArt

UN Establishes New Global AI Governance Institutions to Shape the Future 🌐 On August 26, 2025, the United Nations took a landmark step by establishing two new mechanisms dedicated to the governance of artificial intelligence -AI-: the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI and the Global Dialogue on AI Governance. These initiatives aim to foster international cooperation, ensuring AI's benefits are harnessed responsibly while addressing its risks. The Scientific Panel will bridge cutting-edge AI research with policymaking, providing independent assessments to anticipate challenges. Meanwhile, the Global Dialogue offers an inclusive platform for states and stakeholders to discuss critical AI issues facing humanity today. This move underscores the global commitment to building a future where AI serves the common good, aligning with the Global Digital Compact adopted in 2024. The Secretary-General will soon call for nominations for the Scientific Panel, with annual reports expected at dialogues in Geneva -2026- and New York -2027-. 🤝 This is a pivotal moment for international AI governance, emphasizing collaboration and scientific rigor in shaping policies for transformative technologies.

✨ A remarkable milestone for #AIDiplomacy this week! As I often highlight, #DigitalDiplomacy is not just a communication tool, but a tech-driven paradigm that reshapes how #diplomats interact, the agendas they pursue, and the context in which they operate: 🤝 #ArtificialIntelligence is currently one of the main topics on the diplomatic agenda. From the #UnitedNations Global Digital Compact and the #EU AI Act to the latest #UNGA resolution, #AI has made it to the center stage of international negotiations. 🌐 From supply chain to platform economy, from infrastructure to security, #AI and #digital technology are also strategic elements in the international context. 🚀 Initiatives like the UNICC AI Hub are key in equipping the #UN system with effective, inclusive, and future-ready AI solutions. A new chapter in #multilateralism where algorithms meet the global good!

It was a pleasure to be invited to the AI-Enabled Policymaking (AIPP) workshop, which formed the basis for this excellent report. The report highlights how today’s AI tools can support policymaking - through drafting, summarization, and brainstorming - while also underscoring key bottlenecks such as model limitations, user skill gaps, and legal/privacy challenges. Looking ahead, it explores the emerging needs for future AI systems in the policy space, emphasizing the importance of implementation considerations such as transparency, trust, responsible adoption, and the development of government-tailored tools. Thanks to RAND, The Stimson Center, and Tony Blair Institute for Global Change for the workshop and the report. https://lnkd.in/eEHYq9A8
