I think about public policy. A lot. I was also back-up, back-up QB for the freshman B team in high school.

Our Chief Strategy Officer @AndrewFATHOM and Fathom Fellow @ghadfield recently spoke with @Angela_Y_Yang about AI, insurance, and Independent Verification Organizations. They explained how the IVO model of AI governance allows governments to set acceptable risk levels for AI

The latest edition of The Architecture of AI Governance — out today — features a guest essay from our newest Fathom Fellow @DexBarton. Dex argues that the AI transition requires more than just technical solutions. The race for AI leadership isn’t won solely through superior

I finally got a chance to meet @tomfriedman, whose book The World Is Flat inspired my own Rules for a Flat World. I had a great conversation with him and @AndrewFATHOM about the challenge we find the world facing: how do we build rules for AI that work in a complex world?

It is our belief that tort law and AI are on a collision course. Tort law is the branch of our civil legal system that focuses on redressing injuries to persons or property caused by the wrongful act of another party. To adjudicate whether the defendant should be held liable,

Really appreciate that, @KevinTFrazier. Mainly because you so willingly and honestly help me red team the politics and policy of it all.
Sometimes you do need to reinvent the wheel - especially when that wheel is a patchwork of inflexible state laws. Kudos to @AndrewFATHOM for his work on an adaptive, effective AI governance framework. Read about it via @axios

So proud of @MikeMcCormick_ and team. I personally credit Mike for plucking me out of my cozy life and throwing me into chaos to make a difference in this world. I am excited to see everything Halcyon can do with talent and capital.
Exactly two years ago, I launched @HalcyonFutures. So far we’ve seeded and launched 16 new orgs and companies, and helped them raise nearly a quarter billion dollars in funding. Flash back to 2022: After eight years in VC, I stepped back to explore questions about exponential

Last month, Fathom hosted our first “tabletop” roleplaying exercise with the technical team at @TransluceAI. We brought together experts across disciplines, from machine learning and political science, to tort law and philosophy, to cybersecurity and mental health, to test out

Today I cover the long-term implications of what I believe is the first landmark tort lawsuit against a frontier AI developer: Raine v. OpenAI, Inc. This is a big one. To the extent there are law textbooks fifty years hence, this one is likely to be there.

The EU AI Code of Practice boils down to this: Fill out a form → Get a checkmark → Call it safe. That’s not AI governance. That’s compliance theater. 🧵⬇️

Sometimes you do have to reinvent the wheel. When it comes to AI, new regulatory regimes may be necessary to account for its dynamic nature. In our latest episode, @AndrewFATHOM (CSO at @Fathom_org) makes the case for SB 813, a novel AI bill pending before the CA leg.

Preemption, Pause, Patchwork? Are these our choices? Read my latest post on why we should be thinking about AI governance differently.
AI poses a unique governance challenge. This technology is both inescapably global in its reach – hundreds of millions of people use some form of AI today – and profoundly local in its impacts, expanding into lives, families, workplaces, and communities with differentiated
