Canada Post needed
If Canada looks South, many in the US want future hand counts in elections because of interference through tech via corrupt actors.
Mail is another example of this as Trump needed to ruin mail systems in IS to undermine vote by mail.
What happens in US, often comes North. Don’t let tech and oligarchs take over control!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should companies be liable for their AI systems in the same way zoos are liable for their animals?

Q: What did India's Election Commission do to the voter rolls, and why has it prompted protests?

The commission began a Special Intensive Revision to remove deceased voters, people who had moved, and alleged illegal immigrants. More than 130 million names were deleted, and protesters and critics say minorities and oppressed-caste communities have been disproportionately affected, potentially altering election outcomes.

Should companies be liable for their AI systems in the same way zoos are liable for their animals?

Q: Who is responsible when an autonomous bot carries out an unauthorized hack?

AI agents are not legal persons, so liability must generally be tied to a person or company that acted unreasonably. Negligence claims may be possible if a company failed to use adequate safeguards, monitoring, or training, but the law remains uncertain.

Q: Why is narrative important in driving tech accountability?

Haugen argues that compelling narratives help society understand abstract technical harms and mobilize collective action, alongside robust data and policy, to push for durable reforms.

Q: Frances Haugen, what originally pushed you to come forward and risk your career?

She explains that understanding the harms of the platform and the potential to protect users outweighed the personal risks, and that the decision was driven by a sense of responsibility to reveal what was being kept inside the company.
