I’m hiring a Senior Manager for AI Safety & Security Policy at FAS. You’ll help turn technical insights about frontier AI risks into real policy outcomes—spotting windows for impact, shaping proposals decision-makers can use, and working directly with researchers + government.

AI-powered nukes might not be coming next week, but "we don’t know where they’ll be in five years time … and it’s worth being prudent about that fact," @technolliegist.bsky.social tells @wired.com

1/n When the Trump admin began drafting its AI Action Plan, we at the Federation of American Scientists (@scientistsorg.bsky.social) offered ideas to advance innovation, maintain safety and security, and support government institutions. Now the plan is live, here’s my take:

As world leaders meet in Paris, I spoke with @politico.com about DeepSeek and its impact on AI policy discussions.

Text saying: "“What DeepSeek has really done is capture public attention in a way that I haven’t really seen since maybe ChatGPT,” said Oliver Stephenson, the associate director for AI and emerging tech policy at the Federation of American Scientists. “That really boils through into how policymakers are paying attention, and that just shifts the entire ecosystem of Washington, D.C., and policymakers around the world to really focus again on this as a thing that they need to be paying attention to.”"

“What we're seeing is an impressive technical breakthrough built on top of Nvidia's product that gets better as you use more of Nvidia's product...That does not seem like a situation in which you're going to see less demand for Nvidia's product.” time.com/7211646/is-d... @scientistsorg.bsky.social

Is the DeepSeek Panic Overblown?

AI scientists contend that the outsize reaction to the rise of the Chinese AI company DeepSeek is misguided.
