The Pacifica App in Brazil is a fascinating app to possibly apply to Sri Lanka and with the well-coded Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - for all 22 million people in Sri Lanka in Sinhala language + - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University. But I'm not sure if or how Stanford Law CodeX Executive Director Roland Vogl or WUaS could help connect or interoperate all these different platforms, for example.
Fernanda Suriani - Great and thanks! What if you as the Attorney for Federal Agencies for the Brazilian Government, and your colleagues, were to combine the amazing Pacifica application (where I saw that in a high GDP country like Brazil, there are about 213 million people, and there are about the same number of mobile phone connections) … with something like Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily - https://minepi.com/sgkmac … to lower or lessen the huge divisions between rich and poor there, further and beyond what Pacifica app does now especially for mothers for example? Thanks, Scott GK MacLeod, (where best STEAM CC OpenCourseWare World University and School seeks to code for every person in Brazil for free universal education too, and indeed for all 7.9 billion people on the planet in each of all ~200 countries (per the Olympics) from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University (each a Wikidata PIN #) - potentially to end poverty worldwide, and also to develop wiki free universal education, and free WUaS degrees online from home for many many people). So how could we code Pacifica and Pi Cryptocurrency and with You at World University with AI to be interoperable? Thank you!
Please note: Free World University and School WUaS has a partnering email from Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily.
Andy, and all, I've refined the question I asked in the text chat -
Thanks, and great, Andy Zhang! Can your Tower not only work with multiple languages, but also multiple countries’ - AI legal systems, and re corporate law (e.g. Canada's legal systems developing with AI in French, US federal government's AI legal systems developing in English, and Spain's AI legal systems in Spanish), and if so how many countries’ AI legal systems and in their languages can Tower work in? And in what languages as well? Thanks, Scott (with World Univ & Sch planning online law schools in each of all ~200 countries and in their main languages, and in each of all 50 US states - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School#World_University_and_School_Links - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School) ... and see the PS below.
And how might Tower and World University and School explore collaborating and in our international WUaS Law Schools? Best STEAM wiki CC-licensed Open Course Ware in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program World University and School is in Wikidata which is Wikipedia's Wikidata's backend structured knowledge database in about 342 languages presently, and could possibly be of great use to Tower, for example. And WUaS is also seeking to develop a Universal Translator as we develop in all 7159 known living languages in all ~200 countries as major online universities and to offer free online from home Law, Bachelor, PhD, MD, IB high school or similar, AS and Master's degrees in these 200 countries' main languages +?
'does the US have federal legal "AI systems" emerging?'
The US does not have a comprehensive federal law specifically regulating legal "AI systems" yet, though the legal landscape is rapidly emerging through executive orders and agency guidelines. Federal action is a mix of encouraging innovation and risk management, while states are enacting their own, often more specific, regulations.
Federal action
The federal government has taken steps to guide AI use rather than passing a comprehensive law.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a memorandum directing federal agencies to accelerate their use of AI while implementing risk management practices, focusing on safety, security, and resilience.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed the NIST AI Risk Management Framework to help manage risks associated with AI.
The FBI uses AI for tasks like data analysis but maintains human oversight for all actions, ensuring ethical and constitutional use.
State-level action
While the federal government debates regulation, states are passing their own AI laws.
California has taken the lead with a sweeping package of AI laws, including rules on bias, discrimination, and privacy.
Other states are also focusing on specific issues like deepfakes, government use of AI, and automated decision-making.
What this means
The lack of a single, overarching federal law means that AI systems face a complex and fragmented regulatory environment.
Businesses and organizations must navigate both federal guidance and the specific laws passed by each state in which they operate

Thanks for reaching out. We support a few common languages like Spanish, French, and Mandarin. Our AI doesn't have a concept of AI legal systems (we don't keep track of laws + precedents). All our AI has access to is what the lawyers pass in and the context they provide (some of our users provide the specific legal frameworks they use for the AI to use in their analysis).
We're pretty busy serving our current customers and improving our own product, so will have to pass on your offer. It sounds like what you're working on is very ambitious and useful though, so best of luck!
Our next CodeX group meeting will be this Thursday, November 20, from 1:30p to 2:30p PT, viaZoom - access info below.
Our guests will be:
Andy Zhang, the co-founder and CTO of Tower. Tower is an agentic data room that helps lawyers conduct due diligence faster and more accurately. Tower manages the request list, organizes documents, and allows users to extract terms from thousands of documents at once.
Fernanda Suriani, Attorney for Federal Agencies for the Brazilian Government, will introduce us to PACIFICA. PACIFICA is an AI-assisted platform by Brazil's Attorney General's Office that accelerates eligibility checks for government maternity benefits. This innovation dramatically speeds payments to new mothers while reducing court congestion, freeing judicial resources, and enhancing access to justice.

That said, I just attended a Stanford Law CodeX presentation yesterday, Th 11/20/25 where the Pacifica App in Brazil with its federal government to help impoverished mothers with speeding up access to government benefits like cash ... is a success. And Brazil has something like 213 million people, and a similar number of smartphone connections ... Could this Pacifica App have been coded out of a network with Stanford Law CodeX re its executive director Roland Vogl (who is selecting speakers with a focus on justice issues in the law too)? And Stanford PhDs created Pi cryptocurrency so I think that WUaS and potentially Sri Lanka World Univ & Sch WUaS.- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka and in https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sinhala_language and Tamil etc - collaborating somehow with Stanford Law CodeX too and re the WUaS Pi cryptocurrency partnering email re https://minepi.com/sgkmac - could have much merit.
from the "Pi now on its mainnet block chain can also be used to buy things newly" email thread -
Hi Rifai in Sri Lanka,
As you know, World Univ & Sch, with a partnering email from Pi cryptocurrency, is seeking to distribute Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency to most of all 7.9 billion people on the planet and to end poverty globally in doing so.
Interesting to learn that well-coded Pi now on its mainnet block chain can also be used to buy things newly.
Please invite your networks to get Pi to join this project.
The status of the Pi Network mainnet is a point of frequent update, but based on recent information, the network launched its Open Mainnet on February 20, 2025. This transition allows Pi coins to be used for transactions outside of the internal ecosystem and enables trading on several cryptocurrency exchanges. [1, 2, 3]
Using Pi Coin to Buy Things
You can now use Pi coins for purchases, primarily through community-driven platforms and local merchants that have integrated the currency.
Within the Pi Ecosystem: The
Pi Browser
is the central hub for applications (dApps) that accept Pi. Marketplaces like Pi Chain Mall and other community-built apps facilitate the exchange of Pi for goods (electronics, accessories, clothing) and services (freelance work, graphic design).
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Transactions: Many transactions happen directly between users or with small local businesses (e.g., restaurants, small shops) in various countries, particularly across Asia and Africa, often organized through community forums and events like "PiFest".
Limitations: While you can buy items in these specific contexts, Pi is not yet a mainstream form of payment on major retail websites. The scope of what you can buy depends largely on the community-driven supply of goods and services in your local area or online community. [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Trading on Exchanges
The launch of the Open Mainnet removed the firewall that previously restricted external connectivity, meaning Pi can now be traded on some centralized exchanges.
Available Exchanges: Pi (PI) is available for trading on exchanges such as OKX, Bitget, and MEXC.
Major Exchange Status: As of the latest information, major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase have not officially listed Pi, often citing ongoing concerns about regulatory compliance and transparency.
KYC Requirement: To access external trading and transfer your mined Pi to your mainnet wallet, you must complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process. [8, 9, 10]
In summary, the transition to an open network has expanded the possibilities for using and trading Pi coin, moving it from a purely speculative asset to one with emerging real-world utility within its growing ecosystem. [3, 11]
Hi Rifai in Sri Lanka, and Partha Mazumdar (US state department), US senator and former Harvard Law professor Elizabeth Warren, all,
Thanks for your email this morning, Rifai, and regarding being able to sell and buy things newly with Pi cryptocurrency, which leads me to wonder how all Sri Lankans could get (buy in a sense) Stanford Mine Pi free money daily and to use in daily monetary transactions, for free, and to end poverty there. What do you think?
Just posted to TwitterX and LinkedIn the following about possibly distributing Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency to all 22 million people in Sri Lanka and with free universal education (building on ocw.mit.edu) also potentially from WUaS in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program ...
I also asked Gemini AI the following, and received helpful replies -
what percentage of the population in the country of Sri Lanka with 22 million people have smartphones
80% of the population in Sri Lanka own smartphones, according to recent data.
what's the level of poverty in the country of Sri Lanka and per gross domestic product
The World Bank estimates that poverty in Sri Lanka rose to nearly 26% in 2024 (using the $3.65/day poverty line). The country's GDP per capita (nominal) was about $4,516 in 2024, with a Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) GDP per capita estimated around $15,632
As you may know, WUaS seeks to end poverty worldwide among all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN # from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and developing a specific country focus like with Sri Lanka might be a great way to begin this. And see the PPS regarding how El Salvador in central America is the only nation to adopt a cryptocurrency, which is bitcoin.
Partha, could teh US state department help develop and distribute Stanford Mine Pi Cryptocurrency for all ~22 million Sri Lankans, and with free highest quality education, and degrees too?
Here's an invitation to you to get Pi free money daily, which takes less than 5 seconds every 24 hours to mine to get 2-5 Pi coins daily:
Pi is a new digital currency developed by Stanford PhDs, with over 55 million members worldwide. To claim your Pi, follow this link https://minepi.com/sgkmac and use my username (sgkmac) as your invitation code.
(I've accumulated about 6800 Pi coins to date).
And see Agenda item 5, in particular, in this M 11/10/25 WUaS News & Agenda, and also the whole WUaS Weekly Business Meeting re Gemini AI's response in particular-
In World University and School WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet and to end poverty from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University, and with a WUaS partnering email from Pi cryptocurrency Network, how best can WUaS end poverty for, say the poorest billion people, and in seeking to distribute PI to all ?
"A strategy to help the poorest billion people could involve World University and School (WUaS) combining educational opportunities with the distribution of Pi cryptocurrency. WUaS could use its "coding for all" initiative to build utility for the Pi token, which could then be distributed as Universal Basic Income or micro-loans, while educational programs address skills gaps and financial literacy needed for successful adoption. More information is available on the wiki.worlduniversityandschool.orgwebsite"
Is #PiCryptocurrencyNetwork focusing on getting a single country to adopt Pi? No: "Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency...adopted as legal tender by any nation
And how could WorldUnivAndSch #WUaSCorporation help with all ~200 countries - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool. org/wiki/Nation_States, and in their main languages, and as major online WUaS universities, and in seeking to code for speakers of all 7159 living languages, and from there for all 7.9 billion people on the planet from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool. org/wiki/You_at_World_University ?
Is #PiCryptocurrencyNetwork focusing on getting a single country to adopt Pi? No: "Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency...adopted as legal tender by any nation (El Salvador, &...CAF)"
Question I and World University and School WUaS asked Gemini AI -
Is the pi cryptocurrency Network at all focusing on getting a single country to adopt pi cryptocurrency?
Gemini AI -
No, Pi cryptocurrency has not been successfully developed as the main national currency in any country.
While Pi Network has a large, global community and is used for trade and services in an enclosed ecosystem in many countries, Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that has been adopted as legal tender by any nation (El Salvador, and briefly, the Central African Republic)

Greetings. I was sitting about 8 rows behind you in M 17 at the SF Opera's fantastic "Monkey King" last night, next to a very nice Korean couple. I'd like to let you know about MIT OCW-centric wiki in a #GrowWithGoobleWUaS program World University and School WUaS which seeks to further develop 200 major online universities in all 200 countries, per the Olympics, and in their main languages for free online WUaS degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high sch / sim, AS, and Master's degrees, and wiki schools in all 7159 known living languages. As STEM field sites, and classrooms and so much more, World University and School WUaS is developing further a #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForEverything #ForRobotics #ForGenetics #ForAgingReversal genetic drug therapies #ForSTEM etc with parallels to Nvidia's
NVIDIA Omniverse platform and your Earth-2 platform too, and please see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article in these regards, "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI: World University In School (updated 3/2/24) -
https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 - where he mentions a realistic virtual earth for the first time other than WUaS that I know of. Nvidia pioneering of the the GPU, and in the gaming market and your subsequent central role in the development of modern artificial intelligence and accelerated computing could be vital and central to this developing Realistic Virtual Earth for Everything.
Regarding both the opera wiki subject at WUaS and the beginning China World Univ & Sch, and the China Law School at WUaS, and to get a little sense of how WUaS is structured please see the PS below; I'm adding this set of TwitterX posts and the LinkedIN post to the Opera wiki subject page presently.
Amazingly, 1) World Univ & Sch WUaS is both a 501 c 3 nonprofit US federal legal entity - - and 2) a for profit general strock company legal entity in the state of California - - both planned in 200 countries and in 7159 languages, and more soon. Seeking to see if this email goes through to your email address I found online.
World Univ & Sch's realistic virtual earth idea will interoperate with the development of a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs, and for STEAM and further ethnographic academic research, and potentially for my 7th book, and 2nd Harbin Hot springs' ethnographic book projects, to be published from Google Street View with time slider, text in the sidebar, and 1) to paper, and 2) to new digital hardware and devices such as a WUaS Multimedia Room from our home bathrooms, and for smoking in virtual Harbin Hot springs from home, and in digital masks etc.
