Essential #AI thoughts from Fei-Fei Li. I was honored to hear her speak about AI years ago at orientation for new fellows at The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans and I never forgot her wisdom and prescience. She heads up HAI (Human-Centered AI at Stanford University. Q: What do you you think about AI’s future, what worries you the most, and what gives you hope? A: It’s not AI’s future, it’s humanity’s future. We don’t talk about electricity’s future, we don’t talk about steam’s future. At the end of the day, it is our future, our species’ future, and our civilization’s future—in the context of AI. #futureofeducation #futureofwork

NEWS - Validation and Evaluation for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (VET AI) Act Introduced U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Shelley Moore Capito introduced the bipartisan Validation and Evaluation for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (VET AI) Act (details below). I'm excited about this bill because it builds on recommendations we--as the IEEE USA AI Policy committee--made in a position statement released last February (https://lnkd.in/e9sETwNM). It was a pleasure to co-lead this effort with Dr. Cari Miller. I'd also like to thank Sen. Hickenlooper's staff for being receptive to feedback that I, and colleagues, provided on this bill. Details: ➡ Directs NIST, in coordination with the Department of Energy and National Science Foundation, to develop voluntary specifications and guidelines for developers and deployers of AI systems to conduct internal assurance and work with third parties on external assurance regarding the verification and red-teaming of AI systems. ➡ Such specifications require considerations for data privacy protections, mitigations against potential harms to individuals from an AI system, dataset quality, and governance and communications processes of a developer or deployer throughout the AI systems’ development lifecycles. ➡ Establish a collaborative Advisory Committee to review and recommend criteria for individuals or organizations seeking to obtain certification of their ability to conduct internal or external assurance for AI systems. ➡ Require NIST to conduct a study examining various aspects of the ecosystem of AI assurance, including the current capabilities and methodologies used, facilities or resources needed, and overall market demand for internal and external AI assurance.

All are great reads from insightful thought leaders, but for those working on geopolitics in the Indo-Pacific, I highly recommend Sulmaan Wasif Khan's "The Struggle for Taiwan." It is imperative to assist your understanding of the triangular relationship between China-Taiwan-U.S. #FletcherSchool #Tufts #GeopoliticalRisk #IndoPacific #Taiwan #China #semiconductors

Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote the Federalist Papers in the late 18th century. They were a series of essays that advocated for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, and also promoted the concept of designing our great nation in an intentional manner, rather than a random or reactionary one. I can't imagine where we would be as a country today without the Constitution and Bill of Rights. This week the Stanford Digital Economy Lab released the The Digitalist Papers, a set of essays focused on governance and policy making for the #AI era. Like the Federalist Papers, these are not hard dictates of exactly what should happen, but rather perspectives intended to provoke more engagement and thoughtful debate on the potential of these powerful new ideas and paradigms and how they might shape society moving forward and by extension the future of humanity. I hope you take the time to read them and contemplate the impact that some of these policymaking decisions hold for our collective future, and those of the generations of humankind to come after us. #theonlyconstantischange https://lnkd.in/gQ-Uwc36

There is a lot of interesting information that can apply to K-12 schools, as well as colleges and universities, in this paper by the Boston Consulting Group - "Generative AI for the Public Sector: The Journey to Scale" The document describes "six key organizational enablers" that need to be considered when implementing generative AI: 1. Leadership 2. People and skills 3. Partnerships 4. Technology 5. Data 6. Policies and Governance https://lnkd.in/euqEgSMu These enablers remind me of the ideas that I outlined in my AI Hive Model Framework for schools and colleges this summer. The Framework can be downloaded from my website https://lnkd.in/eUCRZdM7

latest edition explores implications around: (1) making sense of the rapid displacement of startups and “the best model” rat race, (2) how “artifacts of humanity” and Content Credentials will become a human flex of sorts… https://lnkd.in/ecGZKMvr
