Can the Government Figure Out How to Regulate A.I.?

Aug 6, 2023 | slate.com | Lizzie O'Leary

Biden’s trying to find a way to quickly regulate A.I. At a White House summit on July 21, the Biden administration brought together the heads of seven different A.I. companies. A lot of the big names were there—Meta, Google, OpenAI—and they all signed “voluntary commitments” to safeguard artificial intelligence. In the Senate, Chuck Schumer is proposing a framework that legislators can use to tackle A.I. issues.

Pedestrians Are Dying in Record Numbers. There’s Nothing “Accidental” About It.

Jul 22, 2023 | slate.com | Lizzie O'Leary

There’s nothing “accidental” about pedestrian deaths. If you were to draw a graph of pedestrian deaths in America, you’d see a line that began to dip slowly in the late 1970s. That line would trend downward at a steady pace until roughly 10 years ago, when it would start to go the other way, telling a story about pedestrians and how they died.
How Andrew Tate took over the internet.

Jul 19, 2023 | slate.com | Lizzie O'Leary

When Andrew Tate was indicted in Romania in June, no one who’d been paying attention to the drama surrounding him was particularly surprised. Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in December on charges of human trafficking, forming an organized crime group, and rape. And Lisa Miller, who’d spent six weeks watching Tate’s content and immersing herself in his universe for a New York Magazine story, saw the indictment coming. There’s no one good phrase to describe Andrew Tate.

Jul 9, 2023 | slate.com | Lizzie O'Leary

Currently, around 14 different chemotherapy drugs are in shortage. These are generic drugs, pretty basic ones, that are absolutely fundamental to chemotherapy treatments for more than a dozen types of cancer—and the current shortage is so dire that it’s threatening the care of hundreds of thousands of patients around the country. But while this shortage is unprecedented in scope and the number of patients affected, the problem itself is nothing new.
