Debating AI Regulation: Perspectives on Oversight and Challenges
The possibility of regulating artificial intelligence (AI) has stirred debate. Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, doubts the effectiveness of organizations like the United Nations (UN) in regulating AI, considering it unrealistic. UN Secretary General António Guterres has initiated the creation of a High-Level Advisory Body for AI.
Some experts support global AI regulation, citing concerns about its misuse by bad actors. Reinhard Scholl, founder of the UN's "AI For Good" program, emphasizes the need for AI governance. One proposal is to model the regulatory body after the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), but opinions vary on its structure and feasibility. On the contrary, Jimmy Wales believes the UN's focus on tech giants like Google overlooks countless individual developers using freely available AI software. He argues that regulating them is impractical.?

New York to Enforce Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Limits on Concrete in State-Funded Projects
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that mandatory emissions limits for concrete used in state-funded public building and transportation projects will take effect from January 1, 2025.?
These regulations, known as the Buy Clean Concrete guidelines, are a response to a 2021 law calling for their development. The guidelines apply to state agency contracts exceeding $1 million that involve more than 50 cubic yards of concrete or New York DOT contracts exceeding $3 million with at least 200 cubic yards of concrete. The rules are the first state-level mandate in the U.S. to implement greenhouse gas emission limits for all agency projects. Concrete producers will need to submit environmental product declarations to demonstrate their compliance with the set limits. While these regulations are expected to impact construction costs and the availability of concrete, they also provide an opportunity for innovation as the industry moves towards sustainability. New York has ambitious clean energy goals, aiming for a zero-emission electricity sector by 2040 and carbon neutrality by 2050.
