The European Union Parliament just passed the world’s first regulations to mitigate the risks of artificial intelligence
While countries like China and the U.S. have implemented some AI laws, the European Union just passed the “first and only set of binding requirements to mitigate AI risks” in the world.
The AI Act classifies AI products according to risk and imposes rules based on the product’s capacity to harm society. Those that have a higher risk, have stricter rules.
As AI sees exponential growth and profits, it has also raised valid concerns around things like bias and privacy. The creators of the law say it will make AI more “human-centric” — and is just the start of what regulations around the technology could look like.
Yesterdays is a simple, privacy-centric memory tracker app for iOS designed to help people write down and remember those simple thoughts and feelings they might otherwise forget. It’s a simple journal app, optimized for writing and reminiscing — and not at the cost of your privacy.
The app has a dead-simple privacy policy, because it literally doesn’t collect any data. All of your data is either stored on your device or in a private cloud container. Plus, no sign-up is required. These are your memories; nobody else’s.
Users also have a seamless experience with no ads, tracking, followers, brands, or algorithms. Data can always be imported or exported, you can add photos and videos to your memories, and even enable writing reminders to make it part of your daily routine. Plus, it’s easy to walk down memory lane, with tags, widgets, and other user-friendly features.
Start today and get 10 memories for free, paying just $5 per year to add more to that.
“All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis”
edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katharine K. Wilkinson
“All We Can Save” is a collection of essays by powerhouse women leading the charge on climate action. The essays focus on the intersection of climate change, justice, and culture, exploring the psychology of the climate crisis and the power of storytelling, art, and activism. It provides an urgent call to action and offers hope for building resilient communities.
Why we’re reading: An important read on our Women’s History Month syllabus, these writings from (all women!) climate activists are dripping with truth, courage, and solutions — and a throughline of hope and a much-needed reminder of all the beautiful things we can save with our climate action.

What’s good?
I love reframing the argument for climate action as “We’ll save polar bears!” rather than “We’re going to lose polar bears!”
What’s something you’re excited we’ll save with our collective climate action?
