So says Adam Billen, vice president of public policy at youth-led advocacy group Encode AI, on today’s episode of Equity. “The reality is that policy makers themselves know that we have to do something, and they know from working on a million other issues that there is a way to pass legislation that genuinely does protect innovation — which I do care about — while making sure that these products are safe,” Billen told TechCrunch. At its core, SB 53 is a first-in-the-nation bill that requires large AI labs…

OpenAI and Jony Ive face significant technical challenges as they work to develop a screen-less, AI-powered device, according to the Financial Times.

The FT now says that OpenAI and Ive aim to create “a palm-sized device without a…
