Tomorrow's vote for ITU Secretary-General in Bucharest is historic. Doreen Bogdan is a thoughtful leader I have come to respect and admire for her commitment to connecting everyone on earth. Wired explains the stakes well. wired.com/story/2022-itu…

So pleased that Doreen Bogdan will bring her spectacular leadership to the UN's digital agency. I know the world will benefit. She is a dedicated and thoughtful civil servant and understands the complexities and challenges of a digital internet-centric world.

Markey’s point is unarguable. It is idiotic to call something “verified” when it is not. This could only breed confusion and discord.

As a longtime biz journalist I get a vertiginous feeling reading the simultaneous ongoing reporting about FTX and Twitter. That both unprecedented unravelings are happening at once suggests a precarious new landscape for business. Musk is the anti-manager. Bank man is insane.

It's critical the US and EU work together immediately to strengthen standards and principles for the deployment of AI. Right now it's the wild west. A meeting early next week could lead to progress. techonomy.com/can-the-u-s-an…
