"Uncertainty about future AI development cost and trajectory should not stop policymakers from taking action now. Enacting policy under uncertainty is common and necessary." @amac explores how AI's uncertain future is impacting policymaking.

AI’s future cost and the trajectory of its development are currently unknown. Good AI policy will take that into account.

Today was my last day as chief of staff of the tech division at @WHOSTP. These past 2.5 years have been so rewarding and fun — and I’m very grateful to have worked with such amazing colleagues. I’ll miss it a lot!

it's all part of the startup life: cofounder breakups, boardroom coups, investor vs board vs founder civil wars, everything but if you're going through it for the first time, it's insanely stressful

The @WhiteHouse's forthcoming #AI #ExecutiveOrder represents a remarkable, whole-of-government effort to support the responsible development and governance of AI. We see guidance + standards for the private sector; leadership in government use of AI:

AI can bring enormous benefits, but only with responsible innovation will we unleash its full potential. @POTUS Executive Order will bring the full weight of the federal government to bear on promoting responsible AI. https://t.co/52GUgDZJUA

Hundreds of people working many, many hours. Am excited to see the AI Executive Order text out in the world. In the meantime, a hearty congratulations to all the people that made it happen. Especially to my old team at #WHOSTP. 2/2

Executive Orders take a lot of work, consensus building, political capital accruing, team assembling, process pushing, diverse expertise collecting, bureaucracy hacking, cooperation, listening, and a ton of Microsoft Word redline versions to get out the door. 1/2

Happy global encryption day! Encryption plays a vital role in protecting our privacy & rights and keeping our personal data safe. R&D in encryption and other privacy-enhancing technologies is crucial for ensuring these tools can effectively protect sensitive data in the future.

Just when we most need our government to work—to decarbonize our infrastructure, support marginalized people through a pandemic, and address our housing crisis—it is faltering. So what do we do now? Maybe it’s time to recode the American government.

Today, lawmakers joined together to urge the @WhiteHouse to incorporate the AI Bill of Rights into its upcoming #AI executive order. The letter recommends using the AI Bill of Rights framework to hold both the private & public sector accountable.
