Not disclosing a conflict of interest is unethical.

Was it something already in the works? Seems a bit much to want people to disclose potential future investments.

His conflict of interest is expected, it is why they picked him. It is a commission of mostly industry leaders telling the government what policy they want. https://www.nscai.gov/commissioners/ https://www.nscai.gov/commissioners/

  His expertise is expected and it may be reasonable for him to have such a conflict of interest. But it should still be disclosed.

    It should be part of a process with transparency baked in as well. Seems like a no brainer so I must be missing a lot of knowledge that only the people in these situations are privy to.

    They picked them because he's an AI investor venture capitalist. It comes with the territory. Just like how they picked Executives of Microsoft Amazon Oracle and a dozen other companies developing AI.

      If it comes with the territory then just disclose it and move on.

        Here's my investment portfolio, I'd like to highlight companies X, Y and Z. It's not unreasonable to ask for specifics and to expect those specifics to be updated when the conflict of interest changes. This smacks of people just not wanting to be held to task for unethical behavior. "well you should have known" isn't a reasonable defense when not saying something is a form of lie.

        I still dont understand the purpose of disclosure. It makes sense if you are trying to prevent conflicts of interest or self dealing. However, in this instance, the purpose is to cater to their interests and deal to them.

        Of course you do, what you're attempting is to slyly argue there is no conflict of interest with someone influencing laws that will affect companies they make money from because they would have invested (or had already invested) in those companies anyway. if YOU want to personally act this way, have at it, but nothing says those around you have to give you the respect of their time.
