China is struggling to overcome the US chokehold over the design of advanced semiconductors despite having identified the technology as a top priority in its last five-year economic plan 🤖 ft.com/content/d3cd1f85-652c…

Between hope and hype: What’s the (real) business case for AI? I can’t wait to discuss this question with our stellar expert panel tomorrow @SPUI25 at 5pm! Join us for our latest @regulAIte event by signing up for your free spot here: spui25.nl/programma/between-…

Thanks so much for the spot-on summary of our article, @HfPMuenchen! It was a pleasure working on the article during our time at HfP and getting feedback on our research from so many of our excellent HfP colleagues. @ChaseMFoster @VellahKigwiru #DMA

NEW EVENT - mark your calendars! On 22.4, we will co-host an event with @aces_for on the concentration of private power in the times of AI at @SPUI25. Great line-up of speakers, @ViliLe @mattiylonen @C___CS and @andrea_leiter will lead us on the topic - register below! 👇

For all those who asked: the recording of our event on European AI futures is now online! #artificalintelligence #ai

Wow, very interesting (and somewhat depressing) findings

That is just a beautiful paper! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Really looking forward to what promises to be a great event! @regulAIte @SaariLeevi @j2bryson

Excited to share that my book on technological revolutions and power transitions will be published in @PrincetonUPress in August. Available to preorder ($30 paperback): - amazon.com/Technology-Rise-G… - bookshop.org/p/books/technol…

Very insightful article on how to regulate frontier AI - worth a read! lawfaremedia.org/article/fro…

Geopolitical events and economic issues have played a part in restarting lines of communication between China and US. Are they now on the right trajectory? #USChinaRelations knowledge.insead.edu/economi…

Fully agree. Private regulation works in some contexts, but given the vast economic, societal, and political implications of AI, industry self regulation alone is not enough. #artifartificialintelligence #ai #aigovernance #governance #regulation

The world has never been more connected, but businesses are also confronted with significant geopolitical tensions. Two-thirds of global exports come via multinational corporations—and they are at the “eye of the storm,” says MGI director Olivia White. mck.co/3ueOuJ5

X has - rather quietly - rolled out a new way to provide researchers access to public data on X, as required per article 40.12 of the Digital Services Act. How can you do get access? See the thread below 👇#dsa

Published in @Nature: our AI system for material design ‘GNoME’ that found 380,000 new materials (which we’ve made freely available to the research community) with potential to accelerate greener tech from better batteries to more efficient superconductors deepmind.google/discover/blo…

New Chinese benchmark on aligning language models, looking at fairness, safety, legality, and data protection, and a unique morality dimension that integrates specific Chinese values such as harmony. This is super interesting and while these benchmarks can be useful, I'm not sure this is the right use of 'alignment' and that data protection is what safety researchers are worried by. A lot of these are important but they tend to focus on compliance and adherence to predefined standards. More generally, I wonder if some approaches to safety risk encouraging a narrow view of acceptable behavior, and limiting an AI's ability to handle complex, real-world ethical scenarios. More researchers should look into evaluating a model's ability to adapt to a broader spectrum of human ethics and cultural perspectives. I can also see why some skeptics are worried over overreach and censorship. I think it's desirable that e.g. some models avoid offensive language, but I don't think all models need to, and nor do I think doing so means the model is necessarily safe or useful. Anyway interesting research, keen to hear other views too. arxiv.org/abs/2311.06899
