US: New Federal Privacy Bill Aims to Safeguard Against AI-Driven Discrimination Greetings! Senator Maria Cantwell, head of the Senate Commerce Committee, has highlighted that her introduced federal privacy bill could serve as a protective shield against discrimination fueled by artificial intelligence. Speaking at the Washington state's Future of AI forum, she underscored both the potential of AI and the necessity for "guardrails" to prevent potential risks. Cantwell expressed concerns about AI's potential discriminatory applications, which might lead to unfair employment or loan practices. She emphasized the importance of her privacy legislation, designed to safeguard individuals from such biases. While not providing specific details during the forum, Cantwell's spokesperson indicated that she was referring to the Consumer Online Privacy Rights Act, initially introduced in 2019 and re-introduced in 2021. The bill proposes several key provisions, including requiring companies to obtain consumers' opt-in consent for behaviorally targeted ads and prohibiting discriminatory ad targeting based on factors such as race, religion, or sex. The legislation also aims to hold companies accountable for using algorithms in housing, education, job, or credit ads. Cantwell's advocacy reflects a growing awareness of the need to regulate AI applications to ensure fairness and protect individuals' rights. #AI#Privacy#Discrimination#Legislation#AIEthics#Law

🎙Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's remarks at the 46th meeting of the Council of Heads of Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation under the Russian Foreign Ministry on interregional cooperation with African countries(April 8, 2026, Moscow) 💬 Russia and Africa are bound by long-standing and close ties. Today, the countries of the continent are striving to finally overcome the remnants of colonial dependence and to strengthen their national sovereignty, above all in the economic and financial spheres. Those who describe the current period as Africa’s “second awakening” after the decolonisation of the 1960s are right. It was then that political independence was proclaimed, above all thanks to the decisive role of the Soviet Union, which promoted the relevant declarations at the UN. ☝️Recent years have shown that neo-colonial dependence has by no means disappeared. Economically and financially, in terms of control over trade routes and financial flows, Africa still does not enjoy full independence and continues, in economic terms, to serve as a source of raw materials. 👉The lion’s share of added value is still generated elsewhere – to a large extent, and decisively so, in the former metropolitan powers. African partners spoke about this more than once at the two Russia-African Union summits held in Sochi in 2019 and in St Petersburg in 2023. The decisions adopted at those summits should serve as guidelines in preparing for the next summit, which we plan to hold later this year. All this will contribute to Africa’s economic emancipation, ensure that it reaps the proper returns and benefits from its natural resources, and support the emergence of the African continent as one of the centres of the rising #MultipolarWorld. 🤝 I would like to stress in particular that we are restoring our presence on the African continent fairly rapidly, after it declined sharply during the breakup of the Soviet Union. At present, Russia has 45 embassies operating across the continent, with four more set to open in the near future. The key upcoming event on the foreign policy calendar is the third Russia-Africa Summit. It is due to be held in Moscow – this has been agreed – in late October this year. Preparations are currently underway. We count on the active participation of Russian regions in the relevant thematic sessions of this summit. I would once again like to underscore the special importance we attach to the interregional dimension of Russia-Africa relations. It is a solid foundation which, as it grows stronger, helps ensure the steady development of relations with our partners at the national level. Read in full

USA: New Bill Proposes Transparency Rules for AI Training Data Hello everybody! In US a new AI Foundation Model Transparency Act have been introduced. The aim is to ensure transparency in the usage of copyrighted data in training AI models. Companies developing foundation models must reveal the sources of their training data. This move is geared towards informing copyright holders if their data has been utilized. The bill tasks the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to collaborate with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in establishing rules for reporting training data transparency. Companies must disclose the origin of training data, how it's retained during inference, model limitations or risks, alignment with NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework, and adherence to federal standards. AI developers are required to report efforts to "red team" the model, especially in areas like medical queries, cybersecurity, elections, and services impacting vulnerable populations. This bill complements the Biden administration’s AI executive order, reinforcing the push for standardized reporting in AI models. The bill is yet to go through committee discussions, and its fate before the election campaign season remains uncertain. #AIlaw#CopyrightData#Legislation#TechNews#AIRegulation

🚀 Circle's Strategic Chief Responds to Drift Protocol Theft Incident Circle's Chief Strategy Officer, Dante Disparte, has addressed the April 1 incident involving the theft of over $270 million from Drift Protocol. According to Foresight News, Disparte clarified that Circle only freezes USDC when legally compelled, emphasizing that this is not a unilateral decision. He explained that the mechanism is part of a framework designed to protect holders from arbitrary interference. Disparte highlighted the challenge faced by open systems, where legal frameworks lag behind technological advancements. He stressed that protocols, wallets, exchanges, and stablecoin issuers should view security and accountability as shared responsibilities. Disparte suggested that DeFi protocols could develop on-chain protective measures inspired by traditional market circuit breakers. He also urged that the legislative process for the U.S. GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act should incorporate standards for due process, property rights, and financial privacy protection before the next major security incident occurs. #Circle#DriftProtocol#USDC#DeFi#Cryptocurrency#Blockchain#Stablecoin#Security#FinancialPrivacy#Legislation

🚀 White House Stablecoin Report Unlikely to Ease Political Hurdles for Clarity Act The White House's recent report on stablecoins is not expected to alleviate political challenges surrounding the Clarity Act, according to TD Cowen. The report suggested that removing stablecoin yield could potentially increase bank lending by $2.1 billion. However, Jaret Seiberg noted that banks are likely to continue opposing cryptocurrency legislation unless it explicitly prohibits stablecoin yield. Seiberg also mentioned last week that there is only a one-in-three chance of the bill passing this year, according to NS3.AI. #WhiteHouse#Stablecoin#ClarityAct#Cryptocurrency#Banking#Legislation#PoliticalChallenges#Finance#TDcowen#NS3AI
