Our new paper, led by @valentin_bickel, shows results of correlating fresh impact craters on Mars found in images with InSight seismometer events, allowing us to localize them in space and time. https://t.co/C1XmcUAAfY

We are seeking thought-provoking position papers for ICML (deadline: Jan. 30, 2025): https://t.co/cDyACd2ONz #MachineLearning

@travnort Good questions to ask are: what data would it use, who would have access, and how accurate is it in making predictions or giving advice (if that's what it does). Then you can decide!

Very proud to announce the Consumers LEARN AI Act, led by Senators Kelly and Rounds. I have gotten to work with an amazing team on this over the past many months. https://t.co/XP9KP6Iuoh

I recently talked to Nature about my work in Congress on AI legislation. https://t.co/PMYdh37nu1

Why has machine learning failed to have much impact in healthcare? Because the field doesn't focus on what actually matters.

We need to move from "machine learning ON healthcare data" to true "machine learning FOR healthcare".

What would Mars look like from a future orbiting astronaut's POV?

The Odyssey orbiter captured its first images of the Red Planet’s curving horizon and layers of atmosphere, similar to the @Space_Station’s view of Earth. More on these new images: https://t.co/X24B5YaM0N

The U.S. and U.K. jointly released "Guidelines for secure AI system development." Some great ideas in here! (covers deployment and maintenance too) https://t.co/ePcXz7w572

@ShriramKMurthi Wouldn't the actual point here be that student-driven inquiry (asking questions) can do a better job of teaching than a professor lecturing at them?

[S&TPolicyFellowships @AAAS_STPF]

New @SenMarkKelly staffer @marsdancer is part of the first STPF Cohort in #AI. Kiri was previously at
@NASAJPL and she developed a course on

Read this entertaining, important book by @mlittmancs about how to communicate better with computers. He reminds us: "Machines are here to empower us." https://t.co/vCYChT3WoI

I'm very proud to join the office of @SenMarkKelly for a year as an AI expert through the AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellowship program. What an honor!
