We asked the best AI researchers in the world one question: if you had the resources, how would you use AI to solve humanity's hardest problems?
Today we're sharing what came back.

Journalism as a discipline needs to become as skilled at covering AI as it is at covering politics (especially as the former starts to overlap with the latter more and more). In my chat with Alex and Ellis this week we talked about how AI is progressing so fast that we AIDatabricks and Perplexity co-founder @andykonwinski has a phrase for the AI industry's current trajectory: "feudalism with better branding."

But the answer is also not to let somebody who has really good intentions hold the key. There's got to be a thing that addresses both.

Congratulations!honored to be named one of @sciam's Young American Scientists! thanks to my advisor @lateinteraction @MIT_CSAIL, and the wonderful people at @PrimeIntellect and @LaudeInstitute for supporting my research. There's a lot of work to do for open science :)

Assume less, scale more, profit. Fresh paper drop (w/ code) from one of @LaudeInstitute's batch three Slingshot recipients @AlexiGlad!Progress in AI is driven by approaches that make weaker assumptions, which allows for better scaling But representation learning has relied on strong assumptions like augmentations, masking, cropping, etc... until now! 🎬 Introducing Temporal Difference in Vision (TDV), a new
- Is the choice really between unsafe AI and consolidated power? Laude Resident @pgasawa argues it's a false dichotomy, and that the field needs a better framework all together.The AI community seems to increasingly be heading towards a polarized world when discussing safety and consolidated power. I see this discourse as a false dichotomy, so @profjoeyg and I wrote an essay on how we need to change the conversation (link below).

Safety and centralized control are not the same thing, so let's stop talking about them like they are. Yet scaling laws are real. The threat of AI
- Laude Institute repostedAs expected, the next generation of models are now being evaluated for continual learning ability as a first-class attribute (via scores & traces from things like @pgasawa's recently released Continual Learning Bench).

- Laude Institute repostedThanks @LauraBratton5 for digging into what's going on with open AI research (not to be confused with OpenAI research which is closed AI research)Replying to @LauraBratton5
- Laude Institute repostedThe value I get from conferences is inversely proportional to their size. A massive hangar with 1000 posters showing completed work across every subfield of AI? meh. A few couches with 10 people discussing their half-cooked work in a particular shared niche? perfection. It's why
