I just enquired with Gallimard as to the English rights of Recoltes et Semailles and it turns out MIT Press acquired them this year.

I mean I had several CS PhDs alongside me in machine learning being funded by defense contractors... I'm not in favour of any of this, it just doesn't sound outrageous or silly to me.

I don't know too much about the ATI remit outside of their work in AI Ethics, but I presume AI research is within their remit... if you're asking how AI research can be used for national security the applications include a significant chunk of ML research funding over the last two decades.

Why is 2) so outrageous? I'm not in favour of it, but Turing worked for GCHQ, so it does seem consistent with his legacy. I think Deepmind is probably enough to claim 4).
