Why am I so critical of conventional racial inequality research? I'm glad you asked that question. Let me explain!

[Ethan Nadelmann @ethannadelmann]

JUST OUT: An impressive study in @JAMAPsych concludes that the #Oregon decrim initiative (and a similar law in #Washington) DID NOT result in an increase in #overdose fatalities. Evidence-based studies were & are crucial to sustaining support for #decrim

Politico: “Colson views it this way: The top scientists at the biggest AI firms believe that they can make artificial intelligence a billion times more powerful than today’s most advanced models, creating “something like a god” within five years.

His proposal to stop them: Prevent AI firms from acquiring the vast supplies of hardware they would need… Because of the scale of computing systems needed to produce a super-intelligent AI, Colson argues such endeavors would be easy for governments to monitor and regulate.

“I see that science experiment as being too dangerous to run,” he said.”

Thanks @SchreckReports for covering our recent launch and YouGov poll. The American public is asking policymakers to intervene in the AI industry before AI labs cause a major catastrophe. The time for policymakers to pass basic monitoring and safety legislation is now.

1/9: We’ve seen in the news that AI has reached its “Oppenheimer moment”—so it’s concerning to see the policy conversations about AI dominated by the tech giant advocates pushing for its rapid development.

That's why I’m thrilled to launch AIPI 🤖🏛️...🧵
