“Responsible AI” is a bad word at NIST now.
Scientists that partner with the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute received new instructions that eliminate mention of “AI safety,” “responsible AI,” and “AI fairness” in the skills it expects of members @willknight.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/ai-saf...

US tech firms - IME - rely heavily on grads of higher ed in general, and US higher ed in particular...

And yet I've not heard much noise from the Pichais, Nadellas, Zuckerbergs, Cooks, Benioffs, Sus, Jassys, Huangs, etc. about attacks on higher education...

Am I missing it or does it not exist?

Lots of complexity lies hidden in the little things we take for granted, in manipulation, as in perception.

I've rarely read something so anti-scientific anywhere short of the National Review.
