Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz's 'effective altruism' network tied to AI regulation push

Fox News · · International · AI Governance

Reporting links Dustin Moskovitz, Facebook co-founder and major funder of effective altruism causes, to efforts aimed at shaping AI regulation. The story suggests his philanthropic network is playing an active role in policy debates around artificial intelligence.

That is not automatically corrupt, but it does mean the people writing the rules and the people building the technology may share more than just good intentions. Follow the funding before you trust the framework.
