Center for Humane Technology’s Post

Wondering what a tech bro run state might look like? As ever, the past is a good guide. New pod out today with Kevin De Liban on his work to fight hamfisted, cruel use of algos by the state. In the episode we talk about: -His legal battle with the state of Arkansas and why he is fired up about accountability for state uptake of ineffective and harmful technologies -His views on what legal regime and resources the poor in the US need to protect them from the harms of algorithmic excess -Whether state use of tech that hurts the poor is from malice, negligence, or incompetence (and whether that even matters) Listen here: https://lnkd.in/ef4MG33R

This weekend, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed The California Neurorights Act into law. The new law, which my colleagues and I at The Neurorights Foundation sponsored with Senator Josh Becker, defines and protects consumer neural data as sensitive personal information worthy of the same level of protection afforded to genetic data, geolocation data, financial data, and other sensitive categories of personal data. It provides the most comprehensive legal protections for consumer brain data in the world, and has the potential to meaningfully transform the consumer neurotechnology landscape. This is an important victory for human rights, consumer privacy, and public trust in emerging technologies. It is the result of relentless work and inspired collaboration led by Josh Becker, Rafael Yuste, Jared Genser, Sean Pauzauskie, Jamie Daves, Steve Neustadter-Schneider, Margot Hanley, Łukasz Szoszkiewicz, and Zoe Anneka Johnson, among others. You can read more about our efforts and the new law in the New York Times below (the NYT article references the report I authored with Jared Genser and Rafael Yuste in April, and you can check that out too if you haven't yet!): https://lnkd.in/eepwRgcj

Too good not to share this post from Ashlee Hall! Employee retention tax credit (ERC) update: This credit just keeps getting more interesting. The IRS has been sued for failure to process ERC claims and to invalidate the infamous IRS notice guidance that takes a very strict approach on what constitutes a shutdown or partial shutdown of operations. Looking forward to see where this goes. #ERC #employeeretentiontaxcredit #taxcredits #taxcompliance #taxlaw
