In a Stanford HAI interview, Deb Raji stated that the most urgent issue in AI policy is not the formulation of principles or laws, but the lack of enforcement capacity. Using the procurement of AI systems by government agencies as an example, she explained that existing benchmarks and off-the-shelf safeguards cannot meet the strict requirements of the public sector regarding IT compliance, accessibility, privacy, and performance. She emphasized lowering the threshold for accountability, focusing on cumulative and structural harms that have already occurred, especially their impact on marginalized groups, and called for building technical accountability infrastructure, including actionable documentation templates, incident databases, and third-party audit tools.
Cloudflare Workers has added support for inbound TCP connections, with gRPC being the first protocol built upon this capability. Currently, only a private beta is available; Workers can handle unary and server-streaming gRPC (via gRPC-web protocol conversion) but do not support bidirectional streaming. Full TCP primitives require passing through Durable Objects to Containers to achieve full-duplex communication. The official team admits that they do not use gRPC internally, so it is not yet fully available.
