Hearing AI regulation is in the air, especially with a misguided tone of “open dangerous, closed safe” so it felt timely to re-up this one. There are ways to make the AI industry safer without kneecapping transparency, education, and competition.

1/Forget AI existential threat. This is far scarier. Jensen Huang lays out a dystopian future of computer outsourcing, human deskilling, and firm recklessness shrouded in the notion that these firms are unleashing an ayn randian paradise. Take a listen.

Having just started teaching new undergraduates at uni, I think we're missing a key issue in the debate about AI: these kids do not know how *not* to use AI, full stop. We assume they are 'digital natives' but they are not and a Google Scholar search is as alien to them as an archival card-index.

All surveys show most people don't want autonomous AI agents to run their lives, but the 'revolution' gets ever closer anyway. Next step will be platforms and apps that only work for people who use AI agents, enforcing uptake www.ft.com/content/e60b... via @FT

"Just as providers are using sophisticated A.I. tools to say their patients are sicker, insurance companies have been accused of using the tools to delay or deny care."

Libraries have continued to test and use AI, according to the Pulse of the Library survey, but growth has decelerated. “There’s clearly a need to support libraries with practical guidelines or pathways for AI adoption,” said Clarivate SVP Oren Beit-Arie. buff.ly/rVUVTT1
