I'm out here learning new words from the Claude constitution

Such Claude Code, much wow.

This is just one way in which I hope CERN for AI could be robustly good - beneficial to humanity under nearly all timelines and scenarios. Other focus areas like research that promotes applications enhancing societal resilience also fit this category.

We want CERN for AI to actually produce results. Too often, public research efforts fall to the familiar hurdles of bureaucracy and risk-aversion. At the same time, we also have to balance conflicting desires for decentralisation (EU moment) and security (one secure lab!).

Yesterday, the EU Commission officially endorsed pursuing a CERN for AI.

Today, CFG publishes our blueprint for how it should be structured, diving deep into research, governance and legal structure, focus areas and more.

Interesting workshop on solar radiation modification by my climate colleagues.

Nice parallels to AI policy, with the most important action being *lowering uncertainty*, eg:

-studying risks/effectiveness
-monitoring deployment
-foresight and crisis planning
#cfgFlagship

ICFG is rebranding! We are now CFG! I think our new brand & website is pretty swish, feedback welcome :D Also... we finally have a twitter! Give it a follow!

I got my Belgian Residence ID and official work Business card 😎

But the circle of life means making room for newcomers, so I finally have to depart with my beloved tesco club card (et al), you served me well, child 🫡.
