Technologies like synthetic data, evaluations, and red-teaming are often framed as enhancing AI privacy and safety. But what if their effects lie elsewhere?
In a new paper with @realbrianjudge.bsky.social at #EAAMO25, we pull back the curtain on AI safety's toolkit. (1/n)

Great policy brief from @datasociety.bsky.social - happy to see that it draws from award-winning work by @r-jy.bsky.social and @lucyq.bsky.social at AIES last year.
“Privacy-preserving” isn’t as private as you might think. Our new brief, published in collab w @powerswitchaction.org & Coworker, exposes how so-called “privacy-preserving” technologies can actually enable *more* worker surveillance — and what we can do about it. datasociety.net/library/the-...

The myth of sovereign AI: Countries rely on U.S. and Chinese tech
As countries pursue self-sufficiency in AI, they risk depending on foreign companies, undermining their independence and their goals.

phrases coming up in my research discussions: "vegan LLMs", "beyond meat or impossible meat LLMs", "tech companies as mercantilists, or money launderers, or tax dodgers, or arms dealers". oh and also "code generation for XML parsers", and then "birthday paradox". What field am I in? good question.

I'll be presenting a position paper about consumer protection and AI in the US at ICML. I have a surprisingly optimistic take: our legal structures are stronger than I anticipated when I went to work on this issue in Congress.
Is everything broken rn? Yes. Will it stay broken? That's on us.

compelling piece on the distance between the rhetoric and the reality of sovereign AI
With their 'Sovereignty as a Service' offerings, tech companies are encouraging the illusion of a race for sovereign control of AI while being the true powers behind the scenes, write Rui-Jie Yew, Kate Elizabeth Creasey, Suresh Venkatasubramanian.
