Failure of algorithmic justice: Bristol disables AI models for assessing risk of crimes against children due to catastrophic accuracy.

Quantum Frontier: Why the US Needs Clear Rules for Government Investment in Future Technologies

Quantum computing presents a unique challenge for US industrial policy. Unlike areas such as drones, batteries, or rare earth metals, where the government can stimulate the market through procurement and regulation, the quantum industry is in its infancy.

It is precisely this, in my view, that makes early and carefully considered government intervention not just justified, but critically important for preventing future technological dependence...
