They didn’t just show up—they helped write the rules of the internet. And 30 years later, they’re still fighting to keep it open.

@sjgadler @neil_chilson @SOTN @hlntnr @aaronkbr We talked at length about that question on the panel, it was a good conversation: https://t.co/dEW2JNEBJp

Anthropic’s announcement that it won’t incorporate ads into Claude engages honestly with the fact that advertising can cultivate deeply perverse incentives, even when platforms claim otherwise.

[Claude @claudeai]

Claude is built to be a genuinely helpful assistant for work and for deep thinking.

Advertising would be incompatible with that vision.

The choices that advanced AI companies make today about how they’ll cover the mind-boggling costs they are taking on to build AI systems will inevitably shape the systems themselves. That could have an enormous impact on our world for decades to come

[Miranda Bogen @mbogen]

For deeper analysis, CDT’s recent report Risky Business: Advanced AI Companies’ Race for Revenue explores the array of business models advanced AI companies are implementing or considering, including advertising, and how they are likely to affect users. https://t.co/V9cXCjqULo

[Miranda Bogen @mbogen]

It's happening. OpenAI is piloting ads in ChatGPT. 🧵

[Miranda Bogen @mbogen]

AI companies should be extremely careful not to repeat the many mistakes that have been made — and harms that have resulted from — the adoption of personalized ads on social media and around the web.

Follow the money 💰 Frontier AI companies are converging on a set of business models as they race to generate returns — and what that means for the rest of us. https://t.co/V9cXCjrsAW

[Amy Winecoff @aawinecoff]

Today @CenDemTech released a report on the risks of AI to people with eating disorders. As AI systems become more prevalent, their mental-health impacts can't be ignored. To build safeguards, we must develop risk assessments that reflect how AI impacts people in the real world.

[Amy Winecoff @aawinecoff]

I'm so excited to highlight a new report from @CenDemTech: "Opening the Book: A Rubric to Support Effective Transparency for EdTech Products That Incorporate AI." My colleagues introduce a rubric for assessing how transparently edtech vendors communicate about their AI products.

[Helen Toner @hlntnr]

AI companies are starting to build more and more personalization into their products, but there's a huge personalization-sized hole in conversations about AI safety/trust/impacts.

Delighted to feature @mbogen on Rising Tide today, on what's being built and why we should care:

[Chinmay Deshpande @chinmay_deshp]

If we want to understand and shape how advanced AI behaves, we need to know the rules it’s supposed to follow. This requires a type of transparency that’s different from what most policymakers focus on today. @aawinecoff, @mbogen, and I explain in a new report for @CenDemTech:

[Miles Brundage @Miles_Brundage]

This last sentence seems false?

The system card does not appear to have been updated even to incorporate the information in this thread.

The whole point of the term system card is that the model isn’t the only thing that matters.

NEW REPORT: CDT AI Governance Lab’s’s Assessing AI reportAudits looks at the rise of complex automated systems which demand a robust ecosystem for managing risks and ensuring accountability. https://t.co/R5HqZOz1hr cc: @MBogen

[Aliya Bhatia @AliyaBhatia]

Companies often attribute their focus on English AI to the lack of resources in non-English langs. New brief written by @Evani_RD and @mbogen highlights the incredible work researchers are doing on multilingual AI if only companies wanted to work with them https://t.co/V87oIXcw8P
