Just how much energy is involved in developing & using AI?

What's the status of efforts to make AI training more efficient?

Do those on the vanguard of AI energy research use AI in their daily lives?

As AI, and their risks, becomes more widespread, state legislatures are beginning to pass regulation on these new tools.
@gmdickinson.bsky.social and @kevintfrazier.bsky.social warn against "hasty and overconfident laws that burden future innovation."

@kevintfrazier.bsky.social provides a policy framework that guides how states can experiment with AI governance while respecting the federal government's authority on national security and interstate commerce.
A Framework to Govern AI Innovation
There’s broad support for evidence-based AI policy. What that means in practice is a hard question. This policy framework is a path forward.
