The abrupt end of USAID-funded clinical trials is profoundly unethical
USAID's stop-work order threatens to undo decades of progress in medical research ethics and cause harm to clinical trial participants.

The attached article highlights some challenges with managing AI in healthcare. Does anyone else disagree with the notion that "we don't know how to do" model validation & maintenance? I don't find that mysterious.

On Friday, HHS released their strategic plan for AI. At ~200 pages, you might consider using AI to summarize it. ;) Though not a "strategy" IMO, it is an excellent compilation of trends, opportunities, risks, and aspirations.

Great study from Anthropic further illustrating the AI misalignment I wrote about earlier. Healthcare use cases need AI architectures that provide access to and non-repudiability of those scratchpad records.

Recent research shows evidence that AI models can autonomously perform deception, alignment faking, sabotage, or sandbagging...and lie about doing it. We need more transparency. #AI #ChainOfThought #Reasoning #LLM #Scheming
AI Chain of Reasoning Access Should Be Required — Jason Burke
AI models and LLMs that don’t provide access to chain of reasoning should not be deemed as trustworthy for life sciences and healthcare applications.

The use of PBC corporate structures by #OpenAI, #Anthropic, and other #AI companies sounds really great, but is it just window dressing? In the middle of an intensive AI arms race, can the winners truly be mission driven? Let’s hope so.
