“The American Civil Liberties Union sued the National Security Agency Thursday, alleging it failed to disclose documents about its deployment of artificial intelligence under federal public records law.
Transparency about the agency’s ramped-up use of AI is critical to allowing the public to understand how their rights are being affected, and the agency hasn’t complied with the federal Freedom of Information Act, according to the ACLU’s lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit, shared first with Bloomberg Law, also names as defendants the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and Defense Department.
The group is asking the court to force the agencies to release all “reports, assessments, studies, audits, analyses, or presentations concerning the risks or impacts posed by the NSA’s use or proposed use of AI or machine learning for privacy, civil liberties, or civil rights that were created on or after January 1, 2022.”

“NSA officials have described the agency’s AI use to include “performing ‘speaker identification,’ ‘human language processing,’ and monitoring U.S. networks.” The NSA announced in early September it had finished a strategic study on using AI for its missions, followed by an announcement the same month it was creating a hub for AI security.
Despite publicly stating its commitment to transparency, the NSA has provided little public information about how these technologies are used for targeting and if its automating surveillance decisions, the complaint says. As a result, the ACLU wrote, the effects on the civil liberties of Americans caught up in the agency’s surveillance dragnet are unclear. Civil liberties groups have for years raised concerns about biases amplified by AI used in policing, a concern that also extends to intelligence agencies and their activities.
“AI tools have the potential to expand the NSA’s surveillance dragnet more than ever before,” Shaiba Rather, a fellow at the ACLU’s National Security Project, said in an interview. “These tools are dangerous and powerful, and the public need to know how they’re being used and what the ramifications are for their own rights and liberties.”

“Negative rights signal the core of natural law in the American tradition, also known as our Bill of Rights. Without them, the Constitution might never have been ratified, or we might be a very different country today. Most of us can list them—the right to free speech, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to a trial by a jury of our peers, etc.—but what are they really? This is one of those concepts that gets tossed around but is never fully explained. Worse, there’s little said about the origins of negative rights, which limits most people’s ability to understand their meaning or appreciate their usefulness.”

“Negative rights, as opposed to positive ones, negate what the government can do to you, such as invade your home, fine you for saying the wrong thing, or take away the weapons you need to defend yourself against criminals—and government officials.”

Our French Revolution: We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793-94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary.
The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020.
It was absorbed by hard-left ideologues. 🇺🇸🚨 RealClearPolitics realclearpolitics.com/articles/2023/…

They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority support.

The American people want affordable power and fuel and energy autonomy. They do not want a Green New Deal that results in dependence on the Middle East.

As Julie Kelly, who has covered the January 6 trials extensively, reports, there are at least ten informants now known to have been involved in the Proud Boys — more than twice the five defendants who are on trial.

One shocking revelation last week was that one FBI informant, Jen Loh, a member of Latinos for Trump, had been in close contact with the defendants and their legal team throughout the trial, potentially compromising their constitutional rights.
