Transformative AI Centralizes Decision-Making Power and Embedded Knowledge
By
–
Our argument focuses on the potential of transformative AI (TAI) to codify judgment, heuristics, and know-how that once stayed embedded in people, teams, and local settings. TAI can shift decision-making toward whoever controls the models, data, and compute.

AI May Drive Extreme Economic and Political Concentration Risk
By
–
The @nytimes piece today by @ByrneEdsal13590 highlights a concern I share: “If we stay on the current path, the risk of extreme concentration — both economic and political — is very real.” In work with @zhitzig
, we ask why AI may shift the balance between dispersed knowledge -

AI-Science Feedback Loop: Models and Scientists Advancing Together
By
–
The feedback loop between domain experts and AI engineers is exactly what makes AI for science so exciting. The model gets better from the scientist, the scientist gets to explore more because of the model.

AstraZeneca and Tempus AI Achieve 15% Survival Benefit with Contrastive Learning
By
–
AstraZeneca and Tempus AI used contrastive learning to find biomarkers that predict treatment response. Outcome: 15% survival benefit over traditional immuno-oncology trial designs. AI catching what human researchers couldn't. That's not incremental. #AI
