What I'm Reading - 4/6/25

Hello from Green Bay, where I’m in town for my niece’s baptism. The NFL draft will be here soon, and it’s wild to see everything set up at the stadium.

This week, I also learned that I get to check something off my bucket list: a concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. Eric Church announced three distinct concerts there in mid-July for his new album in May, and I can’t wait!

Finally, I wanted to share a clip from my NewsWhip keynote at the end of March, where I continued to advocate for people to panic responsibly, separate the signal from the noise, and identify the opportunities that come with change.

Have a great Sunday!

New technologies like AI supercharge creativity, business, and more. At the same time, we must take steps to ensure AI is resistant to abuse. Our latest white paper, "Protecting the Public from Abusive AI-Generated Content across the EU," highlights the weaponization of women’s nonconsensual imagery, AI-powered scams and financial fraud targeting older adults, and the proliferation of synthetic child sexual abuse.

The paper outlines steps Microsoft is taking to combat these risks and provides recommendations as to how the EU's existing regulatory framework can be used to combat the abuse of AI-generated content by bad actors. We thank Women Political Leaders, the MenABLE project, the Internet Watch Foundation, the WeProtect Global Alliance, and the European Senior’s Union for their important work and support.
