Larry Magid: AI needs regulation, but getting it right won’t be easy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Putting politics aside, I have mixed feelings about the outcome of Tuesday’s White House meeting between President Trump and some of the nation’s most powerful technology executives. Trump and leaders from companies including Google, Meta, OpenAI, Nvidia, Anthropic and xAI signed what the White House called an Accord on Super Intelligence. It calls on companies developing advanced AI to establish internal safety controls, use independent outside auditors and have board-level oversight. But the a
Larry Magid: Age assurance is coming to the internet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, online services mostly relied on users to tell the truth about their date of birth. That clearly hasn’t worked. Now, tech companies and lawmakers are turning to more sophisticated ways to determine whether someone is a child, young teen, older teen or adult, raising new questions about accuracy, privacy and who should be responsible.

I was reminded why during the past couple of weeks as I’ve been testing Google’s latest offering, the Pixel 11 Pro, the high-end flagship of the Pixel line. The Pro comes in two sizes, a 6.3-inch model starting at $1,099 and the 6.8-inch Pro XL starting at $1,299. There are trade-in deals and carrier subsidies that can significantly reduce the price of either model. Like Appl
Larry Magid: What I learned when my internet went down (opens the original)

For the past few years, I’ve been using AT&T Fiber for my home internet, and it’s been nearly flawless. But, through no fault of AT&T, it’s down as I write this column, and that’s reminding me just how dependent I’ve become on 24/7 broadband. We’re having work done on the wall and siding outside my home office, where the fiber enters the house and connects to a gateway. The workers didn’t cut the fiber, but apparently bent or twisted it enough to first cause intermittent outages and then a compl
