As Congress considers end-of-year legislation, it shouldn't forget the various proposals to reform high-tech immigration. CHIPS Act & other measures are great but need to be matched with a competitive high-skilled immigration system to attract and retain the world's best talent.

Generative #AI is enabling new creativity, but also raising questions about the trustworthiness of content. Earlier this week, @GoogleDeepMind and @googlecloud launched SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images.
