    I'm going to frame this and put it on my office wall.

    Artificial Intelligence has enormous potential to tackle some of our toughest challenges. But we must address its risks. That's why last year, we proposed an AI Bill of Rights to ensure that important protections for the American people are built into AI systems from the start.

    Teaching my son how to write math in LaTeX. Can't figure out whether I feel like a proud parent or a drug dealer.

    It's time for a transition. 1. Moving to @WHOSTP to work with @AlondraNelson46 on bias/fairness. 2. Moving to @BrownUniversity @BrownCSDept @Brown_DSI to work with @senykam on a new center on computing for the people. 14.5 years @UtahSoC - wow! blog.geomblog.org/2021/05/transi…

    This is a crucial point. It's a design choice. Not an accident. And I want to thank @alondra for first articulating this so clearly that it stuck in my brain.

    I'm very proud to see the release of the AI Bill of Rights (BoR) today. It all started with a vision articulated by @AlondraNelson46. And is the product of so much hard work and collaboration among so many within @WHOSTP, and within the government. whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda… 1/n

    People afraid of AI taking over the world should be required to install a package: preferably something in Julia or tensorflow on a nonstandard architecture.

    I was talking to a Ph.D student recently and they asked me (or at least I understood them to be asking) whether, in the light of the Google fiascos and what we're seeing right now with big tech and AI ethics in general whether there's any point in doing the work that I do. 1/n

    At a boarding gate: Delta is asking passengers to show their face to a device that they aren't calling a scanner. I ask "I thought face scanning was optional?" They say "it isn't a scanner". I say "but it's scanning my face"? They say "well you can call it that if you insist"

    This is a beautiful interview. And I particularly like this quote, about LLMs.

    Of all the AI conversations I’ve been having recently, this was one of the most thought-provoking. For ⁦@ftweekend⁩, I had lunch with Ted Chiang⁩, whose stories I encourage you all to read to expand your idea of what is possible. on.ft.com/3N6VD4W

    My new law is what I'll call "asymptotic Marxism": any discussion about AI and bias will eventually with probability one end in advocating the end of capitalism

    Everyone talks about how hard it is to do interdisciplinary work - but no one talks about the HARDEST part: having to write papers in ..... Word. I feel so unclean...
