Why Riot Platforms, Marathon Digital, and Hut 8 Mining Stocks … – The Motley Fool

What happened

Shares of Riot Platforms (RIOT 0.11%) rose 59.8% in March 2023, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Dramatic price drops or bloodcurdling crashes are common events for this volatile crypto-mining stock. But even for veteran Riot observers and shareholders, last month's surge was a market move of unusual size.

Riot's moves led the charge across the crypto-mining industry at large. Here's what happened.

The company shared various business reports near the start of March, including February's Bitcoin (BTC 0.07%) mining production and the full financial results of the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2022. Market makers quickly glanced at these documents, brushed them off, and moved on; Riot's stock barely moved on the news.

From there, the stock followed along as Bitcoin's price gains picked up speed, with a week-long pause around the collapse of a few banks with close ties to the cryptocurrency sector. Bitcoin's price chart pumped the brakes, and Riot followed suit. So did fellow crypto-mining companies such as Marathon Digital (MARA 0.63%) and Hut 8 Mining (HUT 0.60%). Their charting lines were nearly identical for a couple of weeks, bundled around Bitcoin's pace-setting price trend:

RIOT data by YCharts.

The bundle separated a bit in the last 10 days of March. Bitcoin held fairly steady from March 21 onward, and the other two crypto-mining experts fell back slightly. But Riot Platforms gained 10.1% over the same period, catching fire while its peers ran out of steam. Marathon closed the month 22.8% higher, and Hut 8 recorded a 12.1% gain. The Bitcoin inspiration stopped at a 19.2% increase, priced at $28,041 per digital coin.

Sure, it makes sense when crypto-mining stocks move in tandem with the all-important Bitcoin price. But why did Riot amplify last month's Bitcoin action much more than Hut 8 or Marathon did?

That's a lesson in short-term stock-price fluctuations versus long-term market trends. If you measure the price changes of Marathon, Riot, and Hut 8 from the end of 2021 to the start of March 2023, you'll find that their price drops stayed within a range of 72% and 79%. They separated from time to time along the way, similar to Riot's industry-leading jump last month, but always came back together again.

These three companies run similar but subtly different business plans. Riot and Hut 8 focus exclusively on Bitcoin mining, while Marathon also offers data-center hosting services. Riot also stands out due to its full stack of in-house power generation and mining-facility operations, while the others rely on third parties for these functions.

But in the end, it all comes down to what Bitcoin is doing and where its price is going. Times are good right now, and I do believe that cryptocurrencies will become more important and valuable over time, and the digital mining stocks reflect that upswing. They are also exposed to massive risks when the crypto market cools down. Since they have fixed business expenses measured in U.S. dollars, crypto miners face serious financial risks when the crypto winter stays cold for too long.

So it's amazing to see Riot soaring 60% higher in March and 74% last July, but it also lost more than 25% in five of the last 12 months, and so did Marathon and Hut 8. Bitcoin only recorded one month with more than 25% price drops over the same period.

I know what you're thinking. These stocks are more volatile than Bitcoin? Inconceivable!

That's a great word, but I do not think it means what you think it means. Bitcoin miners add extra layers of financial risk on top of the inherently unpredictable foundation of Bitcoin's short-term price changes. Of course, that results in even more volatility and investor risk. That gamble might serve investors well in the long run, but I don't dare to invest cold, hard cash in that idea. In my view, Bitcoin itself has plenty of price swings and long-term promise, and I'm not comfortable with the mining specialists' even wilder risk profiles.

Returns At Zijin Mining Group (HKG:2899) Appear To Be Weighed Down – Simply Wall St

What trends should we look for it we want to identify stocks that can multiply in value over the long term? In a perfect world, we'd like to see a company investing more capital into its business and ideally the returns earned from that capital are also increasing. Basically this means that a company has profitable initiatives that it can continue to reinvest in, which is a trait of a compounding machine. With that in mind, the ROCE of Zijin Mining Group (HKG:2899) looks decent, right now, so lets see what the trend of returns can tell us.

For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business. Analysts use this formula to calculate it for Zijin Mining Group:

Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)

0.13 = CN30b (CN306b - CN71b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2022).

Therefore, Zijin Mining Group has an ROCE of 13%. In absolute terms, that's a satisfactory return, but compared to the Metals and Mining industry average of 8.3% it's much better.

Check out our latest analysis for Zijin Mining Group

In the above chart we have measured Zijin Mining Group's prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you're interested, you can view the analysts predictions in our free report on analyst forecasts for the company.

The trend of ROCE doesn't stand out much, but returns on a whole are decent. The company has consistently earned 13% for the last five years, and the capital employed within the business has risen 288% in that time. 13% is a pretty standard return, and it provides some comfort knowing that Zijin Mining Group has consistently earned this amount. Over long periods of time, returns like these might not be too exciting, but with consistency they can pay off in terms of share price returns.

In the end, Zijin Mining Group has proven its ability to adequately reinvest capital at good rates of return. And long term investors would be thrilled with the 324% return they've received over the last five years. So while investors seem to be recognizing these promising trends, we still believe the stock deserves further research.

Like most companies, Zijin Mining Group does come with some risks, and we've found 1 warning sign that you should be aware of.

Members of Congress on TikTok defend app’s reach to voters … – Newscenter1.tv

WASHINGTON (AP) Rep. Jeff Jackson of North Carolina has used it to explain the complex fight over raising the debt limit. Rep. Robert Garcia of California has used it to engage with members of the LGBTQ+ community. And Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania has used it to give an overview of Election Day results.

Aspressure against TikTok mountsin Washington, the more than two dozen members of Congress all Democrats who are active on the social media platform are being pushed by their colleagues to stop using it. Many defend their presence on the platform, saying they have a responsibility as public officials to meet Americans where they are andmore than 150 million are on TikTok.

Im sensitive to the ban and recognize some of the security implications. But there is no more robust and expeditious way to reach young people in the United States of America than TikTok, Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota told The Associated Press.

Yet the lawmakers active on TikTok remain a distinct minority. Most in Congress are in favor of limiting the app, forcing a sale to remove connections to China or even banning it outright. The U.S. armed forces and more than half of U.S. states havealready banned the appfrom official devices, as has the federal government. Similar bans have been imposed in Denmark, Canada, Great Britain and New Zealand, as well as the European Union.

Criticism of TikTok reached a new level last week asCEO Shou Zi Chew testifiedfor more than six hours at a contentious hearing in the House. Lawmakers grilled Chew about the implications of the app for Americas national security and the effect on the mental health of its users. And the tough questions came from both sides of the aisle, as Republicans and Democrats alike pressed Chew about TikToks content moderation practices, its ability to shield American data from Beijing and its spying on journalists.

Ive got to hand it to you, said Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, as members questioned Chew over data security and harmful content. Youve actually done something that in the last three to four years has not happened except for the exception of maybe (Russian President) Vladimir Putin. You have unified Republicans and Democrats.

While the hearing made plain that lawmakers view TikTok as a threat, their lack of first-hand experience with the app was apparent at times. Some made inaccurate and head-scratching comments, seemingly not understanding how TikTok connects to a home Wi-Fi router or how it moderates illicit content.

Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., who is active on the app and opposes a nationwide ban, called the hearing cringeworthy.

It was just so painful to watch, he told the AP on Friday. And it just shows the real problem is Congress doesnt have a lot of expertise, whether it be social media or, for that matter, more importantly, technology.

Garcia, who said he uses TikTok more as a consumer, said most of his colleagues who are proposing a nationwide ban told him they had never used the app. It gets hard to understand if youre not actually on it, the freshman Democrat said. And at the end of the day, a lot of TikTok is harmless people dancing and funny videos.

Its also incredibly rich educational content, and learning how to bake and learning about the political process, he said.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., who has more than 180,000 followers on the app, held a news conference with TikTok influencers before the hearing. He accused Republicans of pushing a ban on TikTok for political reasons.

There are 150 million people on TikTok and we are more connected to them than Republicans are, Bowman said. So for them, its all about fear-mongering and power. Its not TikTok, because, again, weve looked the other way and allowed Facebook and other platforms to do similar things.

Critics of TikTok in Congress say their opposition is rooted in national security, not politics. TikTok is a wholly owned subsidiary ofChinese technology firm ByteDance Ltd., which appoints its executives. They worry Chinese authorities could force ByteDance to hand over TikTok data on American users, effectively turning the app into a data-mining operation for a foreign power. The company insists it is taking steps to make sure that can never happen.

The basic approach that were following is to make it physically impossible for any government, including the Chinese government, to get access to U.S. user data,general counsel Erich Andersensaid during an interview with the AP on Friday at a cybersecurity conference in California.

TikTok has been emphasizing a $1.5 billion proposal to store all U.S. user data on servers owned and maintained bythe software giant Oracle. Access to U.S. data would be managed by U.S. employees through a separate entity run independently of ByteDance and monitored by outside observers.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina took the unusual step of releasing a public statement urging all members of Congress to stop using TikTok, including from his home state seemingly a jab at Jackson, who is one of the more active members with more than 1.8 million followers.

I was just saying if were having a discussion about TikTok then I think we ought to at least reduce the pull factor by elected officials who can simply come off of it, Tillis said this week, when asked about his statement. I dont have a TikTok account. So that was an easy separation for me.

Loud warnings about TikTok have also been comingfrom President Joe Bidens administration. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and FBI Director Christopher Wray have told Congress in recent weeks that TikTok is a national security threat. Blinken told lawmakers the threat should be ended one way or another.

But some members are unconvinced.

Its like turning your cell phone off on an airplane. Youre supposed to do. And if it was super dangerous, I dont think we will be allowed to have the phone on the plane, Rep. Greg Landsman, D-Ohio, said Wednesday, So if it was super dangerous for members of Congress to have this app on their phone, you have to imagine the administration or our government would say absolutely not.

He added, You cant have it on a government phone, and thats good.

Concerns about what kind of content Americans encounter online, or how their data is collected by technology companies, also arent new. Congress has been wanting to curtail the amount of data tech companies collect on consumers through a national privacy law, but those efforts have stalled repeatedly over the years.

Supporters of TikTok on Capitol Hill are urging their colleagues to educate themselves about social media as a whole so Congress can pass legislation that deals with broader issues of data privacy, instead of hyper-focusing on a ban of TikTok, which could risk political backlash and a court fight over the reach of the First Amendment.

We are uninformed and misinformed. We dont even understand how social media works. We dont know anything about data brokers and how data brokers sell our data to foreign countries and foreign companies right now, Bowman said. So ban TikTok tomorrow, this stuff is still going to be happening.

Aaron Noble appointed head of the Department of Mining and … – Virginia Tech Daily

Virginia Tech mining engineering literally opened up the world to Aaron Noble. He still remembers stepping onto an airplane for the first time as a junior on his way to Alaska for an internship.

As the newly appointed head of the Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering, Noble said he wants to ensure more students have the kinds of opportunities that changed the trajectory of his own life. And he wants to grow the mining program, not only to provide careers for new graduates, but to boost U.S. competitiveness in critical minerals and the industries they support.

I want to focus on sustainable enrollment growth, Noble said. I believe we can double our enrollment double the production of mining engineers to support industries critical to national security and the countrys economic health. Being a mining program in a top-ranked engineering college gives us tremendous capability.

Noble is a three-time alum of the department that he will lead beginning on June 25, and he is a professor passionate about classroom and hands-on teaching. He will replace interim head Erik Westman, who has served in the role since former head Kray Luxbacher took a position at the University of Arizona.

"Aaron's enthusiasm for developing talent and technology for mining engineers will create opportunities for both students and industry," said Julie Ross, the Paul and Dorothea Torgersen Dean of Engineering. "As a Hokie graduate, he knows firsthand the quality of an engineering education at Virginia Tech, and his focus on enriching the student experience while ensuring accessibility will strengthen our impact on sustainable mining practices."

Ross acknowledged Westman for his service his second turn as department leader.

"We thank Erik for his dedicated service to the department and to the college," said Ross. "His steady leadership during this transition has positioned Aaron to quickly and confidently step into the department head role."

Throughout his career, Noble has worked on mineral processing with a specific focus on critical material production, techno-economic process modeling, mine environmental management, and complex separation circuit optimization. He has an internationally renowned research program focused on scientific discoveries that lead to technology development, maturation, and commercialization and has served as assistant director of theCenter for Advanced Separation Technologies.

His research has produced 42 peer-reviewed articles and eight awarded or pending U.S. patents four of which have been licensed to various industry affiliates. Outcomes from his work promote and support the sustainable production of mineral resources through improved energy and processing efficiency and reduced waste. In addition, Noble is an award-winning teacher, having received the departmental outstanding instructor award every year since 2018 as well as college-level teaching awards in 2021 and 2022.

Mining has suffered a reputational and economic decline since the 1960s and the falling fortunes of the coal industry. But the discipline now finds itself at the forefront of green energy and other crucial technologies. TheU.S. Geological Survey maintains a list of several dozen critical minerals many of which must be mined that are important for society to develop alternative fuels, batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage, and wind turbines and solar panels. Lithium and cobalt, for example, are essential to the production of electric vehicles (EVs), a major part of the American climate protection strategy.

Some sustainability advocates worry about an increase in U.S. mining, given historical damage from the industry. But green industry leaders like electric car manufacturerTesla have made it clearthat reliable supplies of mined materials are critical to widespread, affordable use of EVs.

Demand for these minerals is projected to rise by up to 600 percent in the coming decades, and the amount of lithium and graphite needed to produce electric car batteries may climb by about 4,000 percent,according to the White House. Because these raw materials are often mined outside the U.S., supply chain bottlenecks and tense diplomatic relations can limit our nation's access to them.

Noble said training mining engineers who can design and operate safe, technologically advanced, and environmentally responsible domestic mining operations is critical to American industry and national security.

We don't have enough mining and mineral processing engineers to meet the growing societal demands, and that is scary to think about. Over the next two decades, miners are expected to harvest more raw materials than in all of past human history combined, Noble said.

Part of my motivation for becoming department head is that there is a critical need for talent and technology in the industry. There are areas of mining that require specialized expertise and leadership and communication skills. We can educate our students for those roles, Noble said. With the newCenter for Autonomous Mining, critical minerals research, and our leadership-focused undergraduate curriculum, were already on the leading edge, producing mining engineers with experience in science-based mineral processing, data analytics, automation, and sustainable development.

Noble said he wants to grow the student body in ways that maintain theculture of support and individual attention for which mining engineering is known. Nearly 100 percent of mining graduates have a job right out of school, and all department students with a 2.5 GPA or higher get scholarship support.

Noble also said he is committed to university andCollege of Engineeringgoals for closing the affordability gap for students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds. In fact, he recalled that he chose mining engineering because some other engineering programs had summer class requirements. He chose mining in part so he could work during the summers to save money for tuition. And, as a first-generation student, he benefited from mining's commitment to student success.

I grew up in east Tennessee in what was a very rural community, Noble said. In some ways, I didnt even know what I didnt know about succeeding in college. I was very fortunate to find a home in this department. The strong advising support and exceptional faculty gave me the structure and a path to success. I think it's important that we continue to do that for all our students.

That support can also reduce the cost of a degree.

Failing one class can be a $40,000 mistake for a student, he said. I want to ensure that those who are struggling academically get the help they need in a timely manner to eliminate the financial burden of delaying graduation.

Noble received his Ph.D. in 2013, a masters in 2012, and a bachelors degree in 2009 all in mining engineering from Virginia Tech. He is also a licensed professional engineer in Virginia.

Anti-smoking campaigns on Facebook that discuss the risks of … – Department of Health Administration and Policy

Body

Currently, 12.5% of U.S. adults smoke cigarettes. At the same time, more than one-third of U.S. adults seek health information online, making social media a potentially powerful platform for anti-tobacco campaigns. However, limited research has been done on effective social media strategies for anti-smoking campaigns.

An interprofessional Mason research team led by Associate Professors in the Department of Health Administration and Policy Hong Xue and Gilbert Gimm found that the most popular anti-tobacco campaigns on Facebook were informational and discussed the negative effects of smoking. New information about harmful chemicals and the risks of second-hand smoke on pets were the most engaged with posts.

Our results show that people respond to messaging on how smoking negatively affects the lives of those they care about, including pets. Messages that are personally meaningful to smokers can help to generate positive behavioral changes among smokers, said Xue, the principal investigator. Anti-tobacco campaigns can use these findings to improve their campaigns, better engage the public, and more effectively promote reasons to stop smoking.

This is the first large-scale social media data mining study that examined key anti-tobacco campaigns in the United States. Researchers also found that large campaigns from government and nonprofit organizations had more user engagement compared to smaller and local campaigns. Facebook users were much more likely to engage in campaign messages with videos.

Social Media Data Mining of Antitobacco Campaign Messages: Machine Learning Analysis of Facebook Posts was published in The Journal of Medical Internet Research in February 2023. The project was funded by a research grant from the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth.

From Mason, Professor Xiaoquan Zhao in the Department of Communication, Professor Hemant Purohit in the Department of Information Sciences and Technology, and doctoral student Shuo-yu Lin were also researchers on the study. Researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University, Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania, and Changshu Institute of Technology (China) also contributed to the study.

Latin Americas opportunity in critical minerals for the clean energy … – IEA

Latin America accounts for 40% of global production of copper, led by Chile (27%), Peru (10%) and Mexico (3%). The regions share of global reserves is largely similar to its share of production, although Mexico and Colombia have untapped potential. Existing producers could ramp up production swiftly but may face efficiency challenges in the longer term due to declining ore quality in the resources. The regions share of global copper exploration expenditure has gone up from 35% to 45% in the past decade, indicating the potential for further production increases.

Today the region supplies 35% of the worlds lithium, led by Chile (26%) and Argentina (6%), the second and fourth largest global producers, respectively. The region holds more than half of global lithium reserves, mainly located in Argentina (21%) and Chile (11%). Bolivia also holds huge untapped lithium resources, almost comparable to the size of todays global lithium reserves, although the lack of infrastructure hampers them from being economically viable. Moreover, the regions lithium predominantly lithium carbonate from brine produces fewer emissions than mining from rock and could benefit from the growing adoption of lithium iron phosphate batteries. Latin America could therefore have an even more important role to play in meeting rapidly rising global demand for lithium. The regions lithium exploration spending more than doubled over the last decade, from USD 44 million in 2010 to USD 91 million in 2021, and there is scope to step up activities even further given that the regions share in global exploration spending fell from 52% to 36% over the same period.

Beyond copper and lithium, Latin America has significant potential in graphite, nickel, manganese and rare earth elements production. Brazil alone holds around one fifth of global reserves in each of these resources, but as of today produces only small to moderate amounts, between 0.2% of global production of rare earth elements and 7% for graphite. Latin America has not yet attracted sufficient investment in line with its potential, for example, only 7% of the global exploration budget for nickel and rare earth elements is allocated to the region.

Future exploration campaigns would benefit from updated national geological surveys, as the current geological information does not always cover energy-related critical minerals which have gained more attention in recent years. Chiles geological service SERNAGEOMIN provides detailed open-source geological data with regional and mineral specific focal points. Brazil has established an exclusive division on critical minerals under the geology department (DIPEME). The division has issued regulations reducing the administrative burden for strategic mining projects, with a special focus on lithium and rare earth elements, while also considering graphite, copper and cobalt. Colombia has recently launched a strategic roadmap, Copper Route, to expand the domestic copper industry. However, more information alone will not be sufficient to trigger the investment needed to exploit fully these resources. Governments need to establish frameworks to attract increased investments in mining and processing activities, setting clear regulations and creating incentives, while ensuring compliance with ESG standards. Dialogue with stakeholders, investors, as well as an increase in international cooperation will be crucial for both the design and the implementation of these frameworks.

A.I., ChatGPT critics and boosters descend on Washington – The Washington Post

April 8, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. EDT

When Sen. Chris Murphy watched the video A.I. Dilemma, he saw a familiar face.

Tristan Harris, a tech ethicist well-known among lawmakers for ringing the alarm about the harmful effects of social networks, was now arguing that artificial intelligence represents a potentially catastrophic advance riskier perhaps to human survival than the advent of nuclear weapons.

The videos message which has been embraced by some tech luminaries like Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak resonated with Murphy (D-Conn.), who quickly fired off a tweet.

Something is coming. We arent ready, the senator warned.

AI hype and fear have arrived in Washington. After years of hand-wringing over the harms of social media, policymakers from both parties are turning their gaze to artificial intelligence, which has captured Silicon Valley. Lawmakers are anxiously eying the AI arms race, driven by the explosion of OpenAIs chatbot ChatGPT. The technologys uncanny ability to engage in humanlike conversations, write essays and even describe images has stunned its users, but prompted new concerns about childrens safety online and misinformation that could disrupt elections and amplify scams.

But policymakers arrive to the new debate bruised from battles over how to regulate the technology industry having passed no comprehensive tech laws despite years of congressional hearings, historic investigations and bipartisan-backed proposals. This time, some are hoping to move quickly to avoid similar errors.

We made a mistake by trusting the technology industry to self-police social media, Murphy said in an interview. I just cant believe that we are on the precipice of making the same mistake.

Consumer advocates and tech industry titans are converging on D.C., hoping to sway lawmakers in what will probably be the defining tech policy debate for months or even years to come. Only a handful of Washington lawmakers have AI expertise, creating an opening for industry boosters and critics alike to influence the discussions.

AI is going to remake society in profound ways, and we are not ready for that, said Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), one of the few members of Congress with a computer science degree.

A Silicon Valley offensive

Companies behind ChatGPT and competing technologies have launched a preemptive charm offensive, highlighting their attempts to build artificial intelligence responsibly and ethically, according to several people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations. Since Microsofts investment in OpenAI which allows it to incorporate ChatGPT into its products the companys president, Brad Smith, has discussed artificial intelligence on trips to Washington. Executives from OpenAI, who have lobbied Washington for years, are meeting with lawmakers who are newly interested in artificial intelligence following the release of ChatGPT.

A bipartisan delegation of 10 lawmakers from the House committee tasked with challenging Chinas governing Communist Party traveled to Silicon Valley this week to meet with top tech executives and venture capitalists. Their discussions focused heavily on recent developments in artificial intelligence, according to a person close to the House panel and companies who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.

Over lunch in an auditorium at Stanford University, the lawmakers gathered with Smith, Googles president of global affairs, Kent Walker, and executives from Palantir and Scale AI. Many expressed an openness to Washington regulating artificial intelligence, but an executive also warned that existing antitrust laws could hamstring the countrys ability to compete with China, where there are fewer limitations to obtaining mass scales of data, the people said.

Smith disagreed that AI should prompt a change in competition laws, Microsoft spokeswoman Kate Frischmann said.

They also called for the federal government especially the Pentagon to increase its investments in artificial intelligence, a potential boon for the companies.

But the companies face an increasingly skeptical Congress, as warnings about the threat of AI bombard Washington. During the meetings, lawmakers heard a robust debate about the potential risks of artificial intelligence, said Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), the chair of the House panel. But he said he left the meetings skeptical that the United States could take the extreme steps that some technologists have proposed, like pausing the deployment of AI.

We have to find a way to put those guardrails in place while at the same time allowing our tech sector to innovate and make sure were innovating, he said. I left feeling that a pause would only serve the CCPs interests, not Americas interests.

The meeting in the Stanford campus was just miles away from the 5,000-person meetups and AI house parties that have reinvigorated San Franciscos tech boom, inspiring venture capital investors to pour $3.6 billion into 269 AI deals from January through mid-March, according to the investment analytics firm PitchBook.

Across the country, officials in Washington were engaged in their own flurry of activity. President Biden on Tuesday held a meeting on the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence, where he heard from a variety of experts on the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, including Microsoft and Google executives.

Seated underneath a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, Biden told members of the council that the industry has a responsibility to make sure their products are safe before making them public.

When asked whether AI was dangerous, he said it was an unanswered question. Could be, he replied.

Two of the nations top regulators of Silicon Valley the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department have signaled theyre keeping watch over the emerging field. The FTC recently issued a warning, telling companies they could face penalties if they falsely exaggerate the promise of artificial intelligence products and dont evaluate risks before release.

The Justice Departments top antitrust enforcer, Jonathan Kanter, said at South by Southwest last month that his office had launched an initiative called Project Gretzky to stay ahead of the curve on competition issues in artificial intelligence markets. The projects name is a reference to hockey star Wayne Gretzkys famous quote about skating to where the puck is going.

Despite these efforts to avoid repeating the same pitfalls in regulating social media, Washington is moving much slower than other countries especially in Europe.

Already, enforcers in countries with comprehensive privacy laws are considering how those regulations could be applied to ChatGPT. This week, Canadas privacy commissioner said it would open an investigation into the device. That announcement came on the heels of Italys decision last week to ban the chatbot over concerns that it violates rules intended to protect European Union citizens privacy. Germany is considering a similar move.

OpenAI responded to the new scrutiny this week in a blog post, where it explained the steps it was taking to address AI safety, including limiting personal information about individuals in the data sets it uses to train its models.

Meanwhile, Lieu is working on legislation to build a government commission to assess artificial intelligence risks and create a federal agency that would oversee the technology, similar to how the Food and Drug Administration reviews drugs coming to market.

Getting buy-in from a Republican-controlled House for a new federal agency will be a challenge. He warned that Congress alone is not equipped to move quickly enough to develop laws regulating artificial intelligence. Prior struggles to craft legislation tackling a narrow aspect of AI facial recognition showed Lieu that the House was not the appropriate venue to do this work, he added.

Harris, the tech ethicist, has also descended on Washington in recent weeks, meeting with members of the Biden administration and powerful lawmakers from both parties on Capitol Hill, including Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) and Sen. Michael F. Bennet (D-Colo.).

Along with Aza Raskin, with whom he founded the Center for Humane Technology, a nonprofit focused on the negative effects of social media, Harris convened a group of D.C. heavyweights last month to discuss the impending crisis over drinks and hors doeuvres at the National Press Club. They called for an immediate moratorium on companies AI deployments before an audience that included Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, Republican pollster Frank Luntz, congressional staffers and a delegation of FTC staffers, including Sam Levine, the director of the agencys consumer protection bureau.

Harris and Raskin compared the current moment to the advent of nuclear weapons in 1944, and Harris called on policymakers to consider extreme steps to slow the rollout of AI, including an executive order.

By the time lawmakers began attempting to regulate social media, it was already deeply enmeshed with our economy, politics, media and culture, Harris told The Washington Post on Friday. AI is likely to become enmeshed much more quickly, and by confronting the issue now, before its too late, we can harness the power of this technology and update our institutions.

The message appears to have resonated with some wary lawmakers to the dismay of some AI experts and ethicists.

Sen. Michael F. Bennet (D-Colo.) cited Harriss tweets in a March letter to the executives of Open AI, Google, Snap, Microsoft and Facebook, calling on the companies to disclose safeguards protecting children and teens from AI-powered chatbots. The Twitter thread showed Snapchats AI chatbot telling a fictitious 13-year-old girl about how to lie to her parents about an upcoming trip with a 31-year-old man and gave advice on how to lose her virginity. (Snap announced on Tuesday that it had implemented a new system that takes a users age into account when engaging in conversation.)

Murphy seized onto an example from Harris and Raskins video, tweeting that ChatGPT taught itself to do advanced chemistry, implying it had developed humanlike capabilities.

Please do not spread misinformation, warned Timnit Gebru, the former co-lead of Googles group focused on ethical artificial intelligence, in response. Our job countering the hype is hard enough without politicians jumping in on the bandwagon.

In an email, Harris said that policymakers and technologists do not always speak the same language. His presentation does not say ChatGPT taught itself chemistry, but it cites a study that found that the chatbot has chemistry capabilities no human designer or programmer intentionally gave the system.

A slew of industry representatives and experts took issue with Murphys tweet; his office is fielding requests for briefings, he said in an interview. Murphy says he knows AI isnt sentient and teaching itself but that he was trying to talk about chatbots in an approachable way.

The criticism, he said, is consistent with a broader shaming campaign that the industry uses to try to bully policymakers into silence.

The technology class thinks theyre smarter than everyone else, so they want to create the rules for how this technology rolls out, but they also want to capture the economic benefit.
