Connecticut's new AI law: The good, the bad and what still needs to be done | The Day

By John Waller , Jennifer McDermott , Aamer Madhani

| The Day

Connecticut lawmakers deserve credit. On May 1, the House voted 131–17 to pass Senate Bill 5, the Artificial Intelligence Responsibility and Transparency Act. The Senate had passed it 32–4 weeks earlier on a bipartisan vote, and it now moves to Gov. Ned Lamont’s desk with his support. In an era when bipartisan technology legislation has all but vanished, this is remarkable. Connecticut legislators have put the state on the map as serious about addressing the most impactful technology of this decade.

IN 2009 I visited two of China’s most dramatic scenic landscapes: the Wonder Peaks and the Rice Terraces, both in Guangxi Province in the south of the country. And I had a personal expert guide. My daughter Alison had already spent five years in China, teaching English in upper schools, while simultaneously taking a degree in Mandarin. She was already fluent in speech, reading and writing. This enabled us to travel independently on local transport, and stay in cheaper accommodation.

BELARUS was probably not on many travellers’ bucket list, even before it permitted President Putin to use its territory (though not its soldiers) to invade Ukraine. In fact, Belarus is exactly what Putin wants Ukraine to become: a subservient neighbour ruled by a dictator kept in power through crushing dissent and increasingly rigged elections. Effectively, recreating the Greater Rus of centuries before: in the process establishing a buffer between Russia proper, and the perceived threat of NATO.

Namur suffered significant damage in both world wars, but now with a population just under 120,000, it is a delightful place to visit.
