"What will happen to Europe if it keeps ignoring AI?"
Three American labs each (!!) operate more AI compute than all of Europe combined. Today we're launching Europe 2031: a story of what might happen if that doesn't change.
I've been thinking about the booing at college commencements & wondered: what advice would I give a 22yo for the age of AI?
thinking back to my own graduation into the pandemic, I think the #1 thing is having the right disposition toward change

Over the past few months I've been working on a very exciting project: a new $10m fund for research on multi-agent multi-principal AGI safety! Instead of focusing on single agent alignment and centralized control, we're looking to support research focusing on multi-agent settings, mechanism design, cooperative AI, and coordination problems.
This is a joint initiative between @GoogleDeepMind, @Googleorg, @schmidtsciences, @coop_ai, and @ARIA_research. Huge thanks to @James_D_Fox, @weballergy, @FranklinMatija, @lrhammond, and @ObadiaAlex for their invaluable work!

A new data retention policy: 30 days of all traffic on Mythos-class models, wherever they're accessed, including third parties (e.g. AWS Bedrock). Not used for training, human access logged, deleted after 30 days. Meant to thwart misuse that a classifier for a single conversation would miss.
say we grant the premise...
what would it look like to prep for the singularity?
Is there any chance of a good society on the other side?
come to NYC to argue it out with me and @jackclarkSF next week!
AI safety skews heavily male. Wanting to do a small part in amplifying some of the women doing important work in the field, starting with technical safety, alignment, and evaluations.
@hlntnr -- Interim Executive Director at Georgetown's CSET, former OpenAI board member. Bridges technical and policy better than almost anyone!
@BethMayBarnes -- Founder & CEO of METR, the frontier model evaluations nonprofit. Former OpenAI alignment researcher.
@ajeya_cotra -- at METR on threat modeling and loss-of-control risk. Known for the biological anchors framework on AI timelines.
@vkrakovna -- Research scientist at Google DeepMind Alignment team. Co-founder of Future of Life Institute. Currently working on deceptive alignment and scheming evaluations.
@ancadianadragan -- VP of AI Safety, Alignment & Collaboration at Google DeepMind.
Who else should be on this list?
Others excellent folks not on X: Marta Ziosi (@AdaLovelaceInst), Steph Guerra & Sana Zakaria & Beba Cibralic (@RANDCorporation), Adriana Stephan (@fmf_org), Lacey Strahm (@openminedorg), Stevie Bergman (CAISI)...
I could go on and on!! Thanks for the initiative @avgaydashenko.
