Have you all noticed something?
For the past few weeks, I have kind of stopped talking about random regulatory updates because - a lot of these "updates" are not noteworthy, and while it might give me a lot of likes, I do not intend to show that I am desperate attention-seeker.
Another reason why I couldn't discuss some interesting updates, like the AI moratorium by the US Congresspeople lobbied by Trump administration, Japanese AI laws, some India AI Mission updates, etc., is because either we had many updates to share from the ends of Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law and Indic Pacific Legal Research LLP, or I just needed a real break.
Look - I am not a usual boring legal practitioner who will try to mislead you, out of desperation. I understand that being in the field of law is corresponded to this notion that we are boring, paper pushers. And it takes time to declutter a lot of AI governance updates, so it's better to sit back and look at what makes sense, because I know implementing them will by definition take weeks, even months. That's how governments are struggling, and this is undeniably true.
I am not that kind of a person. I love tech, I love reading tech papers, and I love building if I could.
So, what you are seeing is the trailer of my upcoming book, which is kind of about this idea how normative practices around tech and data governance, even for AI systems are shaping the whole world. That by itself is fascinating, because I revisited a 5-year old idea on "international algorithmic law".
Now I know that nobody reads books now - people love getting AI slop summaries, and think such works are too much for them. But have you ever realised that maybe it is the recommendation algorithms that have started making you feel your attention span is less? I mean, it's counterproductive for the music and cinema industry if we think that 60 min reels should be the ideal focus for a song to succeed, which then ruins the larger cinema and music experience. So, I don't know what helps here.
As someone who advises people in tech, and has published significant contributions, it feels quite amiss that we are getting desperate to be too lazy.
Anyways, I will discuss my AI book on Monday next week, so until then, have a nice week folks. We will also make some ISAIL Advisory Council announcements as well.
P.S.: I watched F1 The Movie, and must recommend it watching on 4DX. It is a true work of cinema, like Sinners. :)
