Honoured to share my 2 cents on the Regulation of #ArtificialIntelligence #AI in today's Daily Monitor. Notice the overt #MissionImpossible movie reference in the introduction 🫡

AI regulation: A much needed elixir #MonitorUpdates

RT @volker_turk: Human rights are concrete, strategic tools to build a social contract and prevent the abuse of power. Without respect for human rights, no peace agreement will last, and development will never be sustainable.

RT @7amleh: 7amleh has released a new policy brief titled “Beyond the Slur: How Online Misogyny in the Levant Targets Men, Erases Women, and Escapes Platform Policy. Based on an analysis of 58,798 abusive posts in Levantine Arabic across Facebook and X, the brief examines how language that degrades women is used to target both women and men, exposing gaps in platform content moderation policies. The findings highlight the need for more context-sensitive moderation, better recognition of indirect misogyny and repeated abuse, and stronger platform accountability. 📄 Read the full policy brief:

RT @nixxin: The government of India, through Ministry of Road Transport and highways is a data broker selling our personal data. Shameful. No wonder govt wanted to exempt itself from dpdp act.

Your number plate can reveal your full name, address and insurance details to anyone with ₹29 and an app. Our RTIs found that NIC issued 25,000+ private credentials to query VAHAN and eChallan since January 2024, leading to 17 million private lookups. On October 1, private data sharing was quietly switched off with no public notice. Meanwhile, the logs that could prove misuse are set to expire. We’ve filed first appeals demanding accountability and preservation of those logs. Found your details on a third-party vehicle app?

RT @freganmitts: AI companies: “AI is going to cure cancer and unify physics.” Also AI companies: “Check out our new product! It’s for phone scams :)”

We made the first AI model you can have a realistic conversation with that was trained entirely on speech! Dessa is a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that you can run on consumer GPUs. This is a GPT3 moment for speech.

RT @freedomhouse: 📣 NEW: #FreedomOnTheNet 2026 is now LIVE! Global internet freedom declined for the 16th consecutive year, as governments erected new barriers to how people access information and express themselves online. Expanding internet shutdowns, growing digital isolation, and new restrictions on online access are reshaping the global internet. Internet freedom deteriorated in 16 of the 38 countries assessed, while just 8 registered improvements. Iran experienced the year's largest decline, joining China and Myanmar among the world's worst environments for internet freedom. Bangladesh recorded the strongest improvement for the second consecutive year, while Estonia ranked as the freest online environment. Authoritarian governments accelerated efforts to isolate their populations from the global internet. Iranian authorities imposed the longest nationwide internet shutdown ever recorded by Freedom on the Net, cutting off most of the population for approximately 88 days. In Russia, authorities expanded internet shutdowns and consolidated control over internet service providers, advancing efforts to restrict access to the global internet. New age-verification requirements are transforming how people access online spaces. As governments increasingly mandate age checks for social media and other online content, these measures are creating new risks to privacy, security, and online anonymity. Repressive governments have also sought to exploit such requirements to expand surveillance. Governments are grappling with the challenges posed by artificial intelligence. New measures to address AI-generated impersonation, harassment, and other online harms have advanced, but some have raised concerns about government overreach and restrictions on free expression. Political change has also created opportunities for progress. Bangladesh and the Gambia demonstrated how the removal of repressive leaders and sustained democratic reforms can help reverse restrictions on internet freedom, even as significant challenges remain. As the internet undergoes seismic shifts, protecting free expression, privacy, and access to information must remain central to shaping its future. Explore the findings, country assessments, and recommendations from #FreedomOnTheNet 2026:

RT @AJEnglish: Israel spyware firms hacked into Al Jazeera devices in 2024 using a new ‘adfection’ method previously unknown to the public. The ‘zero click’ hacks can infiltrate your phone or computer simply by scrolling past an ad online. Al Jazeera’s @mohamedwashere explains.

RT @HeidyKhlaaf: So much of today's tech reporting is "AI company says something COULD happen without evidence, anyway we're going to write about it like it DID happen."

🚨 @AnthropicAI: AI “MAY BE” capable of self-replicating! Now read the actual research: • No fully autonomous rogue replicator demonstrated. • Cyber exploitation deliberately simplified. • Real-world replication remains unproven. So we’re turning controlled experiments and speculative projections into alarming headlines now? AI safety deserves rigorous science, not fear mongering driven marketing dressed up as a breakthrough.

RT @cipesaug: 🚘A number plate that can report where you drive is not just a number plate. It is a surveillance system. We have submitted comments to the Parliament of Uganda’s Committee on Physical Infrastructure on the digital number plate project (ITMS). Our asks: 🟠Publish the Data Protection Impact Assessment Disclose the technical specs, data flows, retention rules and contract terms. 🟠Set clear legal limits on who accesses movement data, and why. 🟠Require judicial oversight and independent audits before further rollout. Privacy, movement, assembly and association should not be the price of road safety. Read our full submission here: #DigitalRights
