Flynn Devine’s Post

Really interesting model proposing a public social way of building AI. This new political economy approach has particular relevance to local government and sensitive areas like healthcare. Thanks Flynn Devine and co-authors.

Public AI combines two of my favorite things: support for public goods at scale and a middle ground between the access + risk of open weight models and the power localization risks of centralized alternatives

Stanford University, along with 77 organizations spanning industry, academia, and civil society, is urging Congress to pass the CREATE AI Act. Why does this matter? The CREATE AI Act represents a bipartisan effort to establish the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR), a critical infrastructure to ensure equitable access to the computational power and data needed to drive AI innovation. Passing this legislation will help advance U.S. AI innovation and global competitiveness, support diverse and inclusive AI research, enable AI breakthroughs across fields, and develop the AI workforce of the future. In this piece, Stanford HAI deputy director Russell Wald explains the bill’s status, what it will take to pass it, and what will happen if it gets delayed. https://lnkd.in/gWSFtEeP

🚀 Empowering AI Innovation for All: The CREATE AI Act   The Creating Resources for Every American To Experiment with Artificial Intelligence Act (CREATE AI Act) represents a pivotal opportunity for the U.S. to lead the global AI innovation race. As the CEO of UniqueMinds.ai, I support this groundbreaking legislation that will establish the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR), enabling equitable access to computational resources and data for researchers across academia, industry, and civil society.   AI has the transformative potential to revolutionize industries, from advancing drug discovery and improving healthcare delivery to accelerating innovations in semiconductor design. Yet, much of this potential remains untapped due to resource inequities. By funding and operationalizing the NAIRR, the CREATE AI Act will empower a diverse range of voices in AI research and development, helping to close the gap between well-resourced tech giants and other innovators.   At UniqueMinds.ai, we recognize that fostering innovation in AI isn’t just about technology—it’s about accessibility, trust, and collaboration. The CREATE AI Act aligns perfectly with our mission to help organizations build responsible, fit for use, and accurate AI solutions, particularly for the healthcare and pharma industries.   🛠️ But this is just the beginning. For the U.S. to maintain its leadership in safe, secure, and trustworthy AI, robust and sustained federal investment will be critical.   💡 How do you see the CREATE AI Act shaping the future of AI innovation in the healthcare industry? Let’s start the conversation! #WeAreUniqueMindsAI #AI #Lifesciences Broderick Jones Jeff Goens Amy Brown Rick McGlinchey Zach Cardwell Erika Nelson Sylvester

AI may automate tasks, but it can't replace empathy. Our CTO Prashant Ketkar and members of the Forbes Technology Council highlight the importance of human skills in the AI era. Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/ep7X8mzJ

The Dark Side of Progress: Harari's Grim AI Predictions in Nexus Nexus offers a sweeping historical exploration of information networks, illustrating how technology has shaped and reinforced power dynamics. Harari’s pessimistic outlook on AI highlights its potential dangers but falls short in proposing solutions. The book's vivid historical examples engage, yet its lack of practical guidance leaves readers wanting more. https://lnkd.in/ehi8SBGG

We hear a lot from the AI "Doomers", who are given a media platform to talk about their dystopian worldview. But there's already a lot of evidence that the Doomers are wrong and there's plenty of room for optimism. In my latest Substack, I talk about the five reasons to be optimistic about AI, Skills and Jobs. Likes, shares and subscribes all welcome: https://lnkd.in/errSuBvh
