Technical AI Governance research is moving quickly (yay!), so @ben_s_bucknall and I are excited to launch a living repository of open problems and resources in the field, based on our recent paper where we identified 100+ research questions in TAIG:

- I‘m deeply honored to serve as one of the vice chairs of the EU‘s first General-Purpose AI Code of Practice. Looking forward to working with stakeholders across Europe to ensure an effective implementation of the EU AI Act 🇪🇺
- 🚨 NeurIPS 2024 Spotlight Did you know we lack standards for AI benchmarks, despite their role in tracking progress, comparing models, and shaping policy? 🤯 Enter BetterBench–our framework with 46 criteria to assess benchmark quality: betterbench.stanford.edu 1/x
- Our new paper "Open Problems in Technical AI Governance" led by @ben_s_bucknall & me is out! We outline 89 open technical issues in AI governance, plus resources and 100+ research questions that technical experts can tackle to help AI governance efforts🧵 t.ly/Y-mQ1
- 📢Excited to share: I'm again leading the efforts for the Responsible AI chapter for @Stanford's 2025 AI Index, curated by @StanfordHAI. As last year, we're asking you to submit your favorite papers on the topic for consideration (including your own!) 🧵 1/
- We need an International Agency for Artificial Intelligence with support from governments, big tech companies, and society at large NOW. #AIGovernance
- Dear @LinkedIn, may I remind you of your own Responsible AI Principles? Remember, the ones about Trust, Privacy, Transparency, Accountability? Asking for consent is literally Responsible AI 101. Seems like these principles are – as for so many companies – just marketing BS.LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool -- they just auto opted everyone in. I recommend opting out now (AND that orgs put an end to auto opt-in, it's not cool) Opt out steps: Settings and Privacy > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement (OFF)
- Our paper explores the risks of using LLMs for strategic military decision-making. With OpenAI quietly updating their ToS to no longer prohibit military and warfare use cases, this research is more crucial than ever. These models aren’t safe to use in high-stakes situations yet.Do LLMs lead to more escalation in high-stake international and military decision-making? Our new paper studies five off-the-shelf models and their behavior as autonomous agents in real-world conflict scenarios! A🧵
- I‘m teaching my first own course starting next week (Intro to AI Governance at Stanford). Super proud but also nervous 🥹 Any advice from more seasoned instructors? 😬 #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #TeachingTips #AcademicAdvice
- Replying to @PhDVoice and @PostdocVoiceGreen flag: old PhD students come regularly back to visit the lab or join lab events. Huge green flag: his name is @aiprof_mykel 😁
- 🔍 Excited to share: I'm the lead researcher for the Technical AI Ethics chapter for @Stanford's 2024 AI Index, curated by @StanfordHAI. We're broadening our scope this year and your input on what research should be included is vital! 🧵 1/
- Thrilled our NeurIPS Spotlight paper BetterBench is featured by MIT @techreview! 🎉 Article: bit.ly/3Zo1rgw Paper: bit.ly/4eMSZfw Website & Scores: betterbench.stanford.edu Please share widely & join us in setting new standards for better AI benchmarking! ❤️The way we measure progress in AI is terrible trib.al/vopDDk1
- I watched these lectures when I started my CS journey (transitioning from Econ). So so helpful and can recommend them to everyone who’s getting started with any form of programming!MIT's "The Missing Semester of Your CS Education" The goal of this course is to make sure you're proficient with the tools you need in the other courses. That is: mastering command-line, version control, editor, ... missing.csail.mit.edu
- Oh god I LOVE her smile at the end. So heartwarming ❤️
