Amazing days in #Atlanta at the #SocietyOfEngineeringScience meeting. Nostalgic about the family we had at @mit.edu with Zhao Qin, @jingjieyeo.bsky.social, Anna Tarakanova and Grace Gu… and learning the last insights form our supervisor back then, @profbuehlermit.bsky.social. What a come back to US

Back in Boston for moderating a panel on “Governing the Machine” at the 50th aniversary of the @tppmit.bsky.social with @marzyehghassemi.bsky.social, Cecilia Testart, Nathaniel Fruchter and Prof David D. Clark (one of the pioneers of internet!!). So thought-provoking… #ai #policy @mit.edu
