When we have seen success in digital cooperation at the global level, that has been when governments, civil society, the technical community, academia, the private sector, and international organizations have worked together. AI governance should bui...

Humans remain fully accountable for accuracy, appropriateness, ethical use, and final decisions. AI output must be reviewed, edited, and validated before use.

Personal view: I admire @AnthropicAI sticking by their principles but disagree with the principle itself. Putin won't fight fair so we should have autonomous AI weapons for sure.

The paper explains why we definitely don't need to worry about cosmic-ray collisions, vacuum bubbles, magnetic monopoles, microscopic black holes, or strangelets.

Second, accountability. Developers and providers of AI systems must answer for the harm their technology causes, just as any other actor in our societies has to do.

SB-1047 holds liable [...] the original developer of that model. It is impossible [...] to predict every possible use. SB-1047 will force developers to pull back [...].

The AI Convention is binding, but flexible.

If somebody says, 'This technology is so powerful that we need a global treaty to slow it down,' then I would say: Then take your foot off the accelerator yourself if you think it's moving too fast.

Our genes play a role in how much cholesterol the liver produces and how much it clears from your blood. Based on genetic factors, individual people may also respond differently to dietary sources of cholesterol; some people are hyper-responsive to i...

Indeed, studies in humans have demonstrated that individuals could be hypo-responders or hyper-responders to dietary cholesterol.

But the 1960s and 1970s analyses used simple correlations that could not separate cholesterol from its travel companion, saturated fat, since both show up in the same animal foods. Later multivariate studies found dietary cholesterol was not an indep...

US adolescents consuming eggs, as primarily dishes or ingredients, had better compliance in meeting nutrient markers compared with nonegg consumers, highlighting associations between eggconsumption and nutrient intake.

Researchers are careful to note that country-level comparisons like this identify associations, not causes, and many factors beyond eggs differ between nations.

However, the aggregate data suggest that higher egg intake may function as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular complications and mortality.

Genetics play a big role in how eggs affect your cholesterol. Some people are more sensitive to dietary cholesterol. This can lead to higher cholesterol levels when they eat eggs.

Cholesterol in your diet is not the primary factor that affects cholesterol levels—saturated fat is. It may not be necessary to avoid foods like eggs, shrimp, and liver that are high in cholesterol but low in saturated fat.

And, today, I can announce our new AI jobs tool… That will help those out of work… Find the right jobs… Create their CVs… And get back into work.

As AI is being developed, deployed, and integrated across industries, we're already seeing it have a measurable effect on the U.S. workforce, and we know that its impact is only going to grow. It's critical that everyone has access to accurate and ti...

But think about it, two things can be true at the same time: AI can and must be a force for good. At the same time, it could literally eliminate many entry and mid-level jobs that are the pathway to the middle class and beyond. If that occurs, we can...

Failure, in their eyes, means being left behind while AI automates large swaths of white-collar work – especially coding jobs, which until now have been a veritable licence to print money – and falling into the ranks of the permanent poor.

the evidence on how AI is affecting the labor market today is inconclusive, and claims about harmful impacts on particular groups of workers are premature.

With AI Native Youth, we have created a clear and direct pathway for this: a route, with support and visibility that simply doesn’t exist for many young people, which is why we have so many who are NEET. I am on a mission to bring a systemic solution...

Ridley described his argument as a "good old Bayesian thing, you add up all the probabilities until you get to a final result," or a court case in which a jury reaches the most reasonable conclusion.

The arguments around covid origins seem largely to fall into an inference trap Andrew has termed premature collapse of the wavefunction. Rather than maintaining multiple hypotheses with different levels of credibility, there seems to be a desire to c...

The origins of COVID-19 remain uncertain. A lab-associated incident is plausible; so is natural spillover. China’s obstruction has made the truth harder to establish, and scientific opinions vary.

More than 60% of early patients in December 2019 were epidemiologically linked to the market, and the simultaneous identification of two genetic lineages supports the idea that the virus had evolved in animals before its introduction to the market.

Both sides are gathering evidence to support their case, yet neither can fully rule out the possibility put forward by the other.

An influential article claimed that Bayesian analysis of the molecular phylogeny of early SARS-CoV-2 cases indicated that the likelihood that two successful introductions to humans had occurred was greater than the likelihood that just one had occurr...

I’m also proud to have advanced measures that will improve federal capacity to test and evaluate frontier AI systems and measure the real energy and water impacts of data centers on our communities.

However, it is important to differentiate regulating applications (which we need) vs. regulating the technology (which is ill-advised).

Foundation models, compute, chips, cloud infrastructures, and frontier training are highly concentrated. This concentration shapes not only who can build but also who can adopt it, adapt it, and capture its economic value.

AI can now be engineered to persuade and manipulate humans at scale using mechanisms that are fundamentally different from any communication technology we've seen in the past.

A handful of bills introduced this year seek to categorically ban “deepfakes.” In other words, these bills would make it unlawful to create or share AI-generated content depicting someone saying or doing something that the person did not in reality s...
