We need more Chiefs of Staff in the private sector: https://t.co/snDOmFlgYw Read for some greats from @WhiteHouse44 and what they do.

Today was my last day as chief of staff of the tech division at @WHOSTP. These past 2.5 years have been so rewarding and fun — and I’m very grateful to have worked with such amazing colleagues. I’ll miss it a lot!

[Alexander Macgillivray @amac]

@nrmarda @WHOSTP A phenomenal run Nik. Congratulations on all you accomplished and all that you helped others accomplish. I hope we get to work together again soon.

it's all part of the startup life: cofounder breakups, boardroom coups, investor vs board vs founder civil wars, everything

but if you're going through it for the first time, it's insanely stressful

My heart goes out to all the employees of OpenAI who are caught in the crossfire

@dylancasey I'm a creature of habit. Need to redo my template at some point...

[Alexander Macgillivray @amac]

Wrote up a few notes on the Biden AI Executive Order & Draft OMB Guidance.

Also made a calendar of the dates deliverables in case you want to follow them.

The OMB AI implementation guidance was released today (in case you want more great Biden Admin AI reading):

The @WhiteHouse's forthcoming #AI #ExecutiveOrder represents a remarkable, whole-of-government effort to support the responsible development and governance of AI. We see guidance + standards for the private sector; leadership in government use of AI: https://t.co/uPzm6hgOTJ

[Alan Davidson @DavidsonNTIA]

AI can bring enormous benefits, but only with responsible innovation will we unleash its full potential. @POTUS Executive Order will bring the full weight of the federal government to bear on promoting responsible AI.

People of @FAccTConference, @AIESConf, @ACMEAAMO and other academic venues researching responsible tech: Hope you're all tracking the White House announcement today on safe, secure, and trustworthy AI! Your research has helped get to this point.

Love that the AI Exec Order fact sheet ends with:

"For more on the Biden-Harris Administration’s work to advance AI, and for opportunities to join the Federal AI workforce, visit https://t.co/mDR76rmRmd."

Hundreds of people working many, many hours.

Am excited to see the AI Executive Order text out in the world. In the meantime, a hearty congratulations to all the people that made it happen. Especially to my old team at #WHOSTP.

Executive Orders take a lot of work, consensus building, political capital accruing, team assembling, process pushing, diverse expertise collecting, bureaucracy hacking, cooperation, listening, and a ton of Microsoft Word redline versions to get out the door.
