Data Governance and Safety Matter More Than Models
By
–
Fully agree. There’s a lot of talk about *models*, but *data* access, governance, safety, attribution, multimodality, engineering, research and production is where the AI action is happening. More education on this is needed because it’s a big part of the safe and responsible

Coherence Creation vs Self Organization in AI Systems
By
–
I think that the coherence creation may be necessary to overcome the shortcomings of a prediction-only approach, but it's not obvious to me that AI needs self organization.

Government AI governance panel with defense and cyber leaders
By

I was lucky to be part of a panel led by former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta w/ Adm. Mike Roger (former head of Cyber Command and the NSA), Prof. @jengolbeck & @aneeshchopra (former US CTO). A lesson: government taking upsides & risks of AI seriously https://

A Decade Gap Between Perfect Demo and Commercial Autonomous Driving
By
–
Actually I am very sympathetic to this. Back to my example of self-driving, my first demo drive in an early Waymo was 2014, and it was already great. It took me around for a 20min drive. From that ~perfect demo it was one decade before I could pay for a drive in a Waymo.

Self-driving predictions continue to miss their timelines
By

So far the timing on every prediction about self-driving being around the corner has turned out to be wrong. See my annual dated predictions and updates at http://

Government AI Risk Report Criticized as Unsubstantiated Policy Prescription
By
–
What? Govs hire consultants daily to write whatever. Often, they produce trash. Here, a v small consultancy wrote a report for USG amplifying discredited X-risk ideologies + prescribing bad policy. AFAICT it's based based on ~5 ppl's hunches? Why're we taking this seriously? https://

L’IA et l’avenir des concours éducatifs
By

Dans les prochaines années, des modèles de fondations seront capables de passer n'importe quel concours et de les réussir mieux que les meilleurs élèves. L’IA nous pose de grandes questions sur notre système éducatif et sur les moyens d’évaluation. Qu’est-ce qu’apprendre à une

Testing AI Systems: Evaluating GPT-4V Vision Capabilities
By
–
This is a great illustration of how hard it is to figure out how good AI systems are via testing. GPT-4V solves the famous dog versus muffin image problem… except it doesn’t if the image is changed so it isn’t in the training data… except it does, but only some of the time.
