"I want people to understand what's going on and how we got here. And I want them to feel like they have some agency, because despite what the AI leaders will tell you, this is not inevitable," said award-winning tech journalist @kevinroose. "We are not passive recipients of AI. We are all part of it."

Roose and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist @tomfriedman joined the #HopkinsBloombergCenter for the launch of Roose's new book, "The AGI Chronicles."

Is artificial intelligence this century's Manhattan Project? Could AGI compress 100 years of scientific progress into 15? Has AI gone from not working at all 10 years ago, to working almost too well?

Last night, award-winning tech journalist @KevinRoose and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist @TomFriedman discussed this and more at the #HopkinsBloombergCenter for the launch of Roose's new book, The AGI Chronicles: The Inside Story of the Race to Create an Artificial Superintelligence.

The first cohort of the AGI Governance Fellowship, on their last day at @JHUBloombergCtr after they presented their group projects. Three weeks of hard questions on the institutions we'll need for powerful AI, and I could not have asked for a better group. Thank you to the fellows, @sethlazar, @nickacaputo and everyone who joined us.

As the U.S. and China navigate the aftermath of last week's Xi Jinping-Trump summit, the tech rivalry question remains: Is zero-sum framing getting in the way of smart policy?

[Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center @JHUBloombergCtr]

"When 'beating China' becomes the goal, it makes it harder to prioritize what the U.S. wants in the affirmative, on its own terms, and at what cost," said @jessicacweiss.

Who writes the rules that govern AI? Who bears the costs when it fails? And what responsibility does the research university carry in this moment of technological transformation?

150 years ago, @JohnsHopkins was founded on the premise that rigorously pursued and freely shared knowledge can improve the human condition. Today, AI systems absorb, reproduce, and act on that knowledge at an unprecedented scale.

Tonight, Stuart Russell, @deanwball, @ghadfield, and @Eugene_Scott take up those questions to answer the question: What will it take to ensure AI serves the public good?
