Superintelligence is coming. Should we let it?

AI companies have been talking about superintelligent AI like it’s inevitable, but recent safety incidents like OpenAI’s Hugging Face breach are demonstrating the potential dangers of deploying AI systems that are more capable than humans. So what happens when we can’t reliably control what these systems do?  On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan is joined by Connor Leahy, an AI researcher, entrepreneur, and now the U.S. Executive Director of […]

What Actually Separates a Truck Claim From a Car Claim

Truck accident settlements are not the same as other traffic accidents. A rear-end tap might produce soft-tissue complaints, and a rollover could result in a spinal cord injury. They are more complex and may involve more than two parties liable to the incident. What holds up better is the structural difference. Truck claims are not […]

Who’s Actually Liable in a Truck Accident?

Commercial trucking is regulated differently than ordinary driving, and that difference is largely why liability in a truck crash usually doesn’t fall on a single individual. FMCSA hours-of-service rules state that property-carrying CDL drivers can be on the road for as long as 11 hours after taking 10 consecutive hours off, yet they must stop […]

The Evidence That Can Start Disappearing After a Truck Accident

After a serious truck crash, the wreckage gets most of the attention. Damaged vehicles are sitting on the road, emergency crews are working, and traffic may be backed up for miles.

Why the United States’ FCC now considers advanced robots a national security risk

The US government has taken one of its most significant steps yet to regulate advanced robotics, adding foreign-produced humanoids, quadrupeds and other mobile robots to the Federal Communications Commission‘s “Covered List” of technologies considered to pose an unacceptable risk to national security. At first glance, the decision appears surprising. The FCC is best known for […]
