Vote transfers are one of the most intriguing aspects of Irish elections. But how have transfer patterns between parties and Independents evolved over time, and how often do they determine the fortunes of candidates? #election24

Excellent, very readable and practical paper on the risks of AI and proposed mitigations by some of the leading global AI experts
New paper: https://t.co/NJyQRsLZ71 Companies are planning to train models with 100x more computation than today’s state of the art, within 18 months. No one knows how powerful they will be. And there’s essentially no regulation on what they’ll be able to do with these models.

https://t.co/I2e9tEfoA1 This is a really interesting paper by David Donoho on what has driven the rapid explosion of AI research and how this has been (incorrectly) perceived by the public. Spoiler: The maturity of Data Science has been the driver of this change! 1/4

Very pleased to see this report and in particular the recommendation that the national PhD stipend increase to €25k. We will now work with stakeholders to make the case in the budgetary process for the funding that will enable us to deliver on this recommendation.
Today, I am publishing the 1st report of the independent review on PhD researchers. Key recommendations about how we better support researchers. Determined to act on this. Further work will now continue. Read the report & my comments here: https://t.co/jO0nlZrHDE
