Headed to Lincoln to talk AI w/ local lawyers.

New @nber.org research worthy of your attention this Friday.
Among the key findings: "Using all federal R&D contracts awarded to U.S. publicly traded firms from 1984 through 2015, we find that the average private return on an R&D contract is 19 times its maximum potential revenue."

While students hit the books, AI professors head to Alabama. Great start to the AI Safety Law Roundtable.
It's a real treat to collaborate with @arbel.bsky.social & @petersalib.bsky.social to encourage more profs to evaluate the promise & peril of AI innovation. Stay tuned for more!

Meaningful adoption will flounder if folks don't trust AI / see how it will benefit them.
