0:00 / 0:40

Google's Android Earthquake Alerts (AEA) system failed to adequately warn millions in Turkey during the February 2023 earthquake. While ten million people within 98 miles of the epicenter could have received the highest alert, only 469 "Take Action" warnings were sent for the first quake. Half a million received a lower-level warning. Google acknowledges the system's shortcomings and says it is continuously improving. The failure is particularly concerning given the devastating impact of the earthquake and the system's potential to save lives with timely, high-level alerts.

Tech Coalition Pushes Federal Preemption

Tap title to read story

A powerful coalition of federal legislators, executive branch officials, and multinational technology corporations has coalesced around a strategy of "federal preemption," seeking to strip state governments of their authority over generative AI. The coalition argues that the legal frameworks governing these technologies are in a state of flux as generative AI affects every sector of the economy, from healthcare diagnostics to creative industries. The push aims to centralize regulation at the federal level, limiting state‑level oversight of AI development and deployment.
