Government by hallucination?

Over 80% of US government agencies already use AI agents – and it’s only the beginning
ZDNET: “According to IDC research focused on public-sector readiness, agentic AI is no longer in the experimental phase for government; it is a leadership mandate. IDC finds that while many government agencies are implementing agent-driven workflows, few have moved beyond pilots. The rate of agentic AI adoption in government is due to several factors:
Budgetary pressures
Sovereignty and compliance, including requirements for data resistance, algorithmic transparency, and accountability
Workforce disruption, which points to skill gaps in cybersecurity and machine learning operations
Citizen expectations for faster, more personalized, and equitable services…”
I bet someone bet they’d do that…

Gillibrand, McCormick team up to crack down on prediction markets
Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Dave McCormick want to bar federal lawmakers from placing wagers on prediction markets and tighten rules around insider trading on the platforms.
The bipartisan duo introduced a bill Thursday to crack down on the wildly popular, freewheeling platforms, just hours after the Senate unanimously approved a resolution that would bar members of the upper chamber and their staffers from trading on prediction markets.
McCormick and Gillibrand’s bill would go further and prohibit the president, vice president and senior executive branch officials from trading on prediction markets. It would also require the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to determine whether its regulations need to be updated to prevent insider trading on the platforms and act on those findings.
Logical it is not.

Europe’s finance ministers are about to discuss an AI model none of them can access
Euro-area finance ministers will discuss Anthropic’s Mythos AI model with banking supervisors on Monday, according to a senior EU official. The technology that will be on the agenda is one that no government in the European Union has access to, built by a company that the United States Pentagon has designated a national security supply chain risk, and which the White House is simultaneously using through the National Security Agency while blocking its creator from expanding access to others. The ministers are expected to return to the topic after Monday’s discussion once they gather more information. The problem is that gathering information is precisely what they cannot do. As the senior EU official put it, governments are only hearing rumours about its capabilities.
Wish this was amusing…
