AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Surveillance & Privacy: Flock Safety says it’s tightening controls for its automated license plate reader network, recommending 7-day data retention (down from 30) and adding tools to limit data sharing and flag abusive searches, as more towns pause or cancel contracts. Local Governance: Rhode Island communities are still wrestling with Flock fallout—Cumberland faces an ACLU challenge over whether the cameras capture more than plates, while Foster tabled a plan to remove its two cameras pending a company appearance. Defense Tech: L3Harris opened a 50,000-square-foot ProvPort facility in Providence to build advanced undersea training systems for the U.S. Navy and allied forces. Education & AI: RIDE secured $18M in federal grants for two AI-supported literacy initiatives, including Project REACH and RISE-AI. Energy & Climate: A new federal snapshot shows solar and batteries dominating U.S. utility-scale additions in 2026’s first half, while wind and natural gas lag. Public Health: Rhode Island’s PFAS crisis continues to escalate in Tiverton, where private wells reportedly show extremely high contamination levels. STEM Research: WPI researchers are using AI to help redesign biological components in E. coli Nissle to bind lead—aiming to reduce risk without adding new genetic code.
