Artificial Intelligence Collaboration and Indirect Regulatory Lag
WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 16: Samuel Altman, CEO of OpenAI, testifies before the Senate Judiciary ... More Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law May 16, 2023 in Washington, DC. The committee held an oversight hearing to examine A.I., focusing on rules for artificial intelligence. (Photo by) Steve Jobs often downplayed his accomplishments by saying that 'creativity is just connecting things.' Regardless of whether this affects the way you understand his legacy, it is beyond the range of doubt that most innovation comes from interdisciplinary efforts. Everyone agrees that if AI is to exponentially increase collaboration across disciplines, the laws must not lag too far behind technology. The following explores how a less obvious interpretation of this phrase will help us do what Jobs explained was the logic behind his genius The Regulatory Lag What most people mean when they say that legislation and regulation have difficulty keeping pace with the rate of innovation because the innovation and its consequences are not well known until well after the product hits the market. While that is true, it only tells half of the story. Technological innovations also put more attenuated branches of the law under pressure to adjust. These are second-order, more indirect legal effects, where whole sets of laws—originally unrelated to the new technology—have to adapt to enable society to maximize the full potential of the innovation. One classic example comes from the time right after the Internet became mainstream. After digital communication and connectivity became widespread and expedited international communication and commercial relations, nations discovered that barriers to cross-border trade and investment were getting in the way. Barriers such as tariffs and outdated investment FDI partnership requirements—had to be lowered or eliminated if the Internet was to be an effective catalyst to global economic growth. Neoliberal Reforms When the internet emerged in the 1990s, much attention went to laws that directly regulated it—such as data privacy, digital speech, and cybersecurity. But some of the most important legal changes were not about the internet itself. They were about removing indirect legal barriers that stood in the way of its broader economic and social potential. Cross-border trade and investment rules, for instance, had to evolve. Tariffs on goods, restrictions on foreign ownership, and outdated service regulations had little to do with the internet as a technology, but everything to do with whether global e-commerce, remote work, and digital entrepreneurship could flourish. These indirect legal constraints were largely overlooked in early internet governance debates, yet their reform was essential to unleashing the internet's full power. Artificial Intelligence and Indirect Barriers A comparable story is starting to unfold with artificial intelligence. While much of the focus when talking about law and AI has been given to algorithmic accountability and data privacy, there is also an opportunity for a larger societal return from AI in its ability to reduce barriers between disciplines. AI is increasing the viability of interdisciplinary work because it can synthesize, translate, and apply knowledge across domains in ways that make cross-field collaboration more essential. Already we are seeing marriages of law and computer science, medicine and machine learning, environmental modeling, and language processing. AI is a general-purpose technology that rewards those who are capable of marrying insights across disciplines. In that sense, the AI era is also the era of interdisciplinary boundary-blurring opportunities triggered by AI are up against legal barriers to entry across disciplines and professions. In many professions, it requires learning a patchwork of licensure regimes and intractable definitions of domain knowledge to gain the right to practice or contribute constructively. While some of these regulations are generally intended to protect public interests, they can also hinder innovation and prevent new interdisciplinary practices from gaining traction. To achieve the full potential of AI-enabled collaboration, many of these legal barriers need to be eliminated—or at least reimagined. We are starting to see some positive movements. For example, a few states are starting to grant nurse practitioners and physician assistants greater autonomy in clinical decision-making, and that's a step toward cross-disciplinary collaboration of healthcare and AI diagnostics. For now, this is a move in the right direction. However, In some other fields, the professional rules of engagement support silos. This must change if we're going to be serious about enabling AI to help us crack complex, interdependent problems. Legislators and regulators cannot focus exclusively on the bark that protects the tree of change, they must also focus on the hidden network of roots that that quietly nourish and sustain it.

I Got Belkin's New Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories But Not the Switch 2
You'd think an accessories company like Belkin would have already made some gaming accessories, but until now it hasn't. That's changing as it's released four new accessories for the new Switch 2 game console, which Nintendo just started shipping to consumers. I'm still waiting for my Switch 2 to arrive, but I did get review samples of all four Belkin Switch 2 accessories, which include two cases -- one with a bundled battery -- and two glass screen protectors. Read more: CNET's Switch 2 accessories round up The $30 Belkin Travel Case for Switch 2, available in three color options (charcoal, sand and green), is a compact, elegant case that seems durable (the fabric is water-resistant). On the inside you'll find a slot system to store 10 game cards and a hidden AirTag compartment. What's kind of cool is that you can detach the carrying handle, turning it into a wristlet strap. According to Belkin, the relatively compact case weighs 285.5 grams (.63 pounds) or 821.5 grams (1.81 pounds) with the Switch 2 stored in it. The Travel case comes in three color options. Screenshot by David Carnoy/CNET The $70 Belkin Charging Case has the same footprint as the Travel Case but is about a third thicker as it includes a 10K power bank that sits in a little well in the bottom of the case under your Switch 2. You can charge the console in the case or remove the battery and uses it to charge the Switch 2 outside the case -- or charge other devices. It's a pretty basic looking 10K portable battery that offers fast 20W charging and has two USB-C charge out ports (the Switch 2 has a 5,220mAh battery and Belkin says its power bank will charge the Switch 1.5x). In my tests with an iPhone 16 Pro Max, the power bank doesn't heat up too much while charging. The Charging Case also includes the same slot system to store 10 game cards and a hidden AirTag compartment. The Belkin Charging Case for Switch 2 includes a 10K power bank. Belkin The screen protectors are solid glass screen protectors, which is nice (these aren't those cheap, thin plastic ones you sometimes see). Belkin has a history of making screen protectors for iPhones -- it has a partnership with Apple to apply screen protectors in Apple Stores -- so they also seem good though a little pricey. Read more: Hands-on with Nintendo's Switch 2 on launch day I'm already seeing a slew of Switch 2 cases and accessories showing up on Amazon from no-name brands, with cases starting at a little less than $20. We'll be putting together a list of the best Switch accessories as soon as we test more items, but I like what I've seen so far with these Belkin accessories. I'll add any additional comments should I encounter any issues once I actually use them with my Switch 2 that is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Major runway at Chicago Midway Airport gets $47 million makeover
A major runway at Chicago Midway International Airport is getting a multi-million dollar makeover, and the project broke ground Thursday. The Chicago Department of Aviation will be reconfiguring Runway 13C/31C to create two new taxiways, as well as doing some major repaving and installing new runway guard lights. The project has been in the works since 2022. As a part of the ongoing efforts to improve operations at Midway, the existing Runway 13L/31R, which the city said has been closed since 2023, will be permanently decommissioned as of June 12. When that happens, Runway 13C/31C will be redesignated as Runway 13L/31R. The goal of the project is for aircraft to be able to take off more efficiently, and reduce delays and traffic across the airfield. The groundbreaking event was attended by officials from the Chicago Department of Aviation and Mayor Brandon Johnson.
