The biggest opportunity in AI isn't another model. It's building the trust infrastructure that protects people from AI-enabled hubris.

I'm returning to GW School of Business to teach "Big #Data, Predictive #Analytics and #Ethics." If you're building, deploying, governing, or critiquing #AI systems, you're sitting on the case study I can't invent from a lecture hall. Send the case my way to prep my students for the future.

There is a silent gatekeeper standing between you and the full benefits of AI. It is not an algorithm. It is a platform.

The universe computes. Math is its whisper. Gould’s observation remains relevant four decades later. We cannot govern #AI, understand nature, or shape #civilization by fearing the very #language through which reality reveals its structure.

When it comes to protecting people from discrimination, we can't roll back the clock. The 1970s weren't the "good old days" for women trying to get credit in their own names. We sued the Trump Administration to ensure everyone can reap the full benefit of our nation's civil rights laws.

A man in America asked three AI systems a simple financial question. He got three different answers. That gap — $587.82 wide — is a parable for our moment. What has that got to do with Pope Leo XIV's encyclical, the Tower of Babel, or the Pentecost?

Want to know what cancelling an executive order say about how we're framing the AI race? The short version: no one grounds safe planes to fly faster ones with no safety checks. The same logic applies to AI. Safety and speed are not enemies. Use any of the links below to read the full argument.

My prayers are with Tumbler Ridge. If “ensuring this never happens again” is the goal, then AI governance must move upstream at #OpenAI and other AI labs. Coordination after the fact matters. Connecting people to care before harm matter as well. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Elected AI-assisted lawmaker, human lawmaker, or AI lawmaker? According to the NCSL, “44% of state legislative staff used AI in their work last year, up from just 20% in 2024.” Could AI reshape “thought processes like writing, problem-solving and reasoning” that define lawmaking? @economist.com

I had one question, maybe two, after seeing this video posted by @wired.com on #Facebbook. If a system can deviate from its intended task in trivial settings, what does that imply for high-stakes deployments? What if this #Robot decided to hurt both patrons and staff?
