📢 First-of-its-kind Blockchain dataset: trading activity of ~216mil users trading ~1mil unique tokens, over ~10 yrs. Enabling researchers all over the world to really begin understanding the crypto world. Great collab w/ @ShaharSomin & @AltshulerYaniv .

Here's a recent chat I had with @DavidWestin on @business's Wall Street Week re: what the future of AI means for investors looking to make smart decisions on where to put their money. tl;dr - best bet is on places with a clear business case.

The most fun image & video creation tool in the world is here. Try it for free in the Grok App.

What if AI was designed more to complement human intelligence and decision making - that relies heavily on human connection and "social foraging" - instead of trying to replace it? This would make AI more useful and beneficial in almost every sphere.

Excited to see our work in action to support more transparent and inclusive public engagement for the city, and looking forward to the outcome of the process. 💻Learn more about the platform: 📜Read the release from the city:

📢 Huge News➡️ DC will be the first city in the US to use the platform, co-developed by MIT GOV/LAB and @DigEconLab, facilitating large-scale, open dialogues & strengthens collective decision-making for their upcoming AI Public Listening Session on 7/15/25.

The 8th @StarlingTrust Compendium was released last week, including an interview I contributed on the impact of Social Physics:

Agent to agent transactions may be commonplace in the not too distant future - however what's the risk and potential loss for the people involved? Our recent study looked at exactly that.

🎓🎉Congratulations to these three newly hooded Ph.D.s from @MIT's Connections Science @GuyZys, @TobinSouth, and @RobertMahari. It has been a pleasure and an honor to work with and advise them.

We're hiring at the @DigEconLab! Seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our project on developing user-centered AI agents in consumer settings. Learn more:

Video of our conversation: TEDxMIT talk from May 2020 that laid the groundwork for this:

The answer might be in our own digital defense agents. This is the heart of the talk I hosted at our latest @imaginationxyz at @MIT with @ginnyfahs, @AmirSarhangi, @dazzagreenwood, and @TobinSouth.

In this quickly evolving world of agentic AI, who will protect and defend individuals from scams, misinformation, and other ways businesses or political entities might use AI agents to reach, influence, persuade, pressure, or take advantage of people?.

The full UN report is available here: Our paper is here:

"Human-AI Coevolution" is mentioned in the @UN's Human Development Report: "A Matter of Choice: People and Possibilities in the Age of AI". Honored to see our work be a part of int'l discussions on the future of human-AI interactions & ethical development of intelligent systems.

See the full text of the bill here:

"By establishing a 'third-way' governing model, independent experts will be able to devise strong safety standards that also promote innovation while still being accountable to government leaders.".

A "first-of-its-kind AI governance framework that is both nimble and built upon proven regulatory models that will continue to spur innovation and incentivize AI platforms to comply with state-of-the-art requirements to identify, monitor, and mitigate known, foreseeable risks.".

We shared how "we believe that the framework outlined in this legislation is a novel and promising approach to ensuring that advanced AI systems can be an engine for innovation, while also ensuring that California can mitigate the risk of real world harm to persons and property.".

The bill will establish Multi-stakeholder Regulatory Organizations (MROs) within California; private, standards-setting bodies designed to provide legal and regulatory clarity, accountability, and agility in an era of exponential AI progress.
