Trump Cancels The SEC’s Westlaw Subscription

Above the Law: “The new administration has made it clear that they don’t have much interest in enforcing the nation’s securities laws. Except maybe as an avenue to accuse companies of dishonoring shareholders by promoting ESG initiatives. The point is, Trump has a meme coin to sell and a media company stock to fluff so SEC enforcement has to hit the bench for a few years. Meanwhile, shadow president Elon Musk still nurses a grudge toward the agency for having the audacity to enforce the voluntary settlement he signed curtailing the risk he might commit fraud at scale over social media . But that’s not actually the reason they just cut off the SEC’s Westlaw access. And while on the surface, the canceled contract looks like another ill-conceived cost cutting measure from Musk’s bumbling speedrun through the federal budget, the reality appears to be much dumber… Earlier today, we learned that the word had gone out to executive agencies to purge all access to a variety of media that don’t meet the administration’s editorial standards…” [I doubt this is the only agency that forced to cancel access to Westlaw and Lexis. Please share additional information so that I may track this accurately. Thank you.]

FPF Releases Infographic Highlighting the Spectrum of AI in Education

To highlight the wide range of current use cases for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education and future possibilities and constraints, the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) today released a new infographic, Artificial Intelligence in Education: Key Concepts and Uses. While generative AI tools that can write essays, generate and alter images, and engage with students have brought increased attention to the topic, schools have been using AI-enabled applications for years.

The AI in Education infographic builds on FPF’s 2023 The Spectrum of Artificial Intelligence report and infographic, and illustrates a sample of the use cases these technologies support, tailored to the school environment.
