As AI systems become more embedded in critical decisions—from healthcare to hiring—the need for transparency and trust has never been greater. But how do we document these powerful tools in a way that’s both meaningful and actionable?
In this episode, we’ll welcome back Umang Bhatt, Assistant Professor in Trustworthy AI at the University of Cambridge and welcome Amy Winecoff, Senior Technologist for CDT as guest host. Together they’ll explore the evolving landscape of AI documentation, its role in responsible deployment, and how emerging standards can help developers, policymakers, and the public understand and govern machine learning models more effectively.

Talking Tech with Greg Nojiem on The Current State of PCLOB
On January 27th, the Trump Administration made headlines with a controversial move to dismiss three Democratic members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), an independent agency responsible for ensuring transparency and accountability in U.S. surveillance practices. With the attempted removal of these members, including the Chair, the board now lacks a quorum and is unable to function effectively, leaving just one member behind. As the future of the board remains uncertain, it could take months for replacements to be appointed, leaving the agency non-operational for the foreseeable future.
On February 24th, two of the removed members filed a lawsuit in federal court, claiming their firing was illegal.
In this episode, Greg Nojeim, Senior Counsel and Director of CDT’s Security and Surveillance Project, joins us to discuss the ramifications of the Trump Administration’s actions, the legal battle ahead, and what this all means for the future of privacy and trans-Atlantic data flows.
