I have a new post "The new risk for AI: Intellectual Property" that focuses on one of the points covered in the Far Phase board training session on Generative AI. Unlike Predictive AI, which is largely about doing analytics on in-house data, Gen AI exposes a company to a new set of risks related to Intellectual Property (IP).

There are really only three states that will decide the presidential election: #Pennsylvania, #North #Carolina and #Georgia.

💥If Vice President Kamala Harris can’t carry Pennsylvania, her only hope is on a Southern strategy.

Harris must win either Georgia or North Carolina.
She has no other path to the White House.
The election could well be determined when polls close in the eastern time zone.

(Well, yes, after the ballots are all counted.
-- Which is why Allies of Donald Trump who control the #Georgia State #Election #Board approved a controversial
👉new rule Friday requiring counties to
💥hand-count 💥the number of ballots cast at polling places on Election Day,
❌despite bipartisan objections from election officials and poll workers!)

All this isn’t to say the other four battlegrounds
#Michigan, #Wisconsin, #Nevada and #Arizona
— aren’t important.

If Harris loses Pennsylvania, which her aides acknowledge is a highly challenging state,
she’d still need to pick up one of the two Western states as well as one of the two Southern states to win
— so long as she carries Michigan and Wisconsin.

Yet none of those other four battlegrounds are relevant if Trump first blocks her in Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina.

It’s the most obvious route for the former president and a reminder of the advantage the Electoral College can confer on a Republican.

Allies of Donald Trump who control the #Georgia State #Election #Board approved a controversial
👉new rule Friday requiring counties to
💥hand-count 💥the number of ballots cast at polling places on Election Day,
❌despite bipartisan objections from election officials and poll workers.

The vote was 3-2, with the three Trump allies supporting the move,
and a Democratic and independent GOP-appointed member of the board strongly opposing it,
calling it an added step that could delay the results of the presidential election in the battleground state

Georgia’s GOP-controlled #State #Election #Board is poised to adopt a rule on Monday that would give county election board members
💥 an additional avenue to delay certification of election results, 💥potentially allowing them to throw the state’s vote count into chaos this fall.

A former Fulton County election official who submitted an initial draft of the rule told ProPublica that she had done so at the behest of a regional leader of a right-wing organization involved in challenging the legitimacy of American election systems. That organization, the 💥"Election Integrity Network", is led by #Cleta #Mitchell, 💥who helped orchestrate attempts to overturn the 2020 election
and spoke on the call in which former President Donald Trump demanded that Georgia’s secretary of state “find” him 11,780 votes to undo Joe Biden’s victory.

The Election Integrity Network’s role in bringing forward the proposed rule has not been previously reported.

The State Election Board’s Monday meeting comes on the heels of a vote less than two weeks before that empowered county election board members to conduct “reasonable inquiry” into allegations of voting irregularities.

That rule did not set deadlines for how long such inquiries might last or describe what they might entail,
and critics worried that this omission could cause Georgia to miss the Dec. 11 deadline for sending its certified presidential election results to the federal government.
