Senior public servants think GenAI will boost productivity - but are worried about the risks
Should GenAI be rapidly rolled out to improve public service policymaking and delivery? Or is a more cautious approach needed to rebuild trust after Robodebt?

Nice history of the Institute for Advanced Study. What began with physicists & mathematicians fleeing fascism has evolved into a community that also includes social scientists and humanists all pushing boundaries. The intellectual freedom the Bambergers championed still thrives in Princeton's woods.
Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.
