Couldn’t have asked for better (human) teammates to demystify and de-mythify #HMT at our @UNIDIR @JHUAPL session “Fact, Fiction and Fantasy in Human-Machine Teaming” at @REAIMsummit in The Hague!
The best way to start the first day of the #REAIM Summit? Chatting with @RediTlhabi and @MichaelRaska about this critical topic!
Revised DoD Directive 3000.09 on Autonomy in Weapon Systems finally released today—clarifications, not changes. esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Docum…
I recommend The Alignment Problem by @brianchristian multiple times a week—it’s hard to believe there are people who haven’t read it … yet. Congrats, Brian—well deserved!
Excited to announce that I’m one of the winners of the Awards for Excellence in Science Communication, by @theNASEM and @SchmidtFutures. #SciCommFutures Honored to be in such great company, and encouraged to see AI ethics and safety among the vital questions of our time.

What lessons should we draw from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for defending other U.S. partners (ahem, Taiwan) from autocratic aggressor states? 🧵

Fascinating in relation to mil applications of AI/ML. For the most part, intl security negotiations at the UN are consensus based. When 193 countries can agree, the result is often the minimal floor, not the aspirational ceiling. Yet UN is more trusted than individual gov’ts here

As WOPR famously once asked: Shall we play a game?
Reconnaissance Blind Chess (RBC) is a chess variant designed for #AI. RBC includes imperfect info, long-term strategy, explicit observations, and almost no common knowledge. Do you have what it takes?

It’s time to lay to rest that age-old question once and for all: Yes, you can turn a UN document into lobster claws.
