Canadian OpenAI researcher Kai Chen was denied a US green card today. She has lived and worked in the US for 12 years.

I hope people are grasping the severity of what is unfolding.

Who will be the *influencers* of the future? In an AI-mediated world, the signal from a trusted human becomes more valuable as it passes through more rigorous filters. Value shifts from sheer volume and follower count to resonance, trust, credibility and community. open.substack.com/pub/sineadbo...

Foreign influence operations targeting Canadian voters are working on overdrive for this upcoming election.
Disinformation is everywhere.

Some of the most important skills for the future are the non-technical skills. Reading, critical thinking, curiosity, play, imagination, teamwork.

We must prepare kids to adapt and think critically (and imaginatively) about the world around them. Regardless of the directions technology takes.

Powerful remarks by @profgalloway.com on Canada’s unwavering allyship to America. During the Iranian hostage crisis, Canadian diplomats risked their lives to shelter Americans. “Canada hid us.”

Fertility rates continue to plummet. Historically the drop was driven by couples having fewer children. Now the driving force in fertility decline is *fewer couples.*

Amidst unprecedented global leadership shifts, vacuums, and uncertainty, one of the most transformative general-purpose technologies is coming online.

For historians, philosophers & deep thinkers, this is a defining moment for your leadership.

ChatGPT is the most famous/ one of the most widely used generative AI platforms in the world. By integrating video generation into its ecosystem, OpenAI is making this technology accessible to an audience at a scale we haven’t seen before.

Electronic tattoos that could replace EEGs. They use special liquid ink composed of conductive polymers that detect brain signals like a traditional eeg but much cheaper/simpler. We could also be looking at the future of brain computer interfaces. Fascinating paper www.cell.com/cell-biomate...

Foundation *world* models are pretty incredible. You give the AI an image and it turns that into a world you can explore and interact with.
You can imagine the pipeline with entertainment, games, etc

The only version of the future that is acceptable is the one with zero violence against women and girls.

On the international day for the elimination of violence against women, it was an incredible honor to deliver a keynote at the UN on the impact of AI systems on women and girls.

Regulation and human rights are not barriers to progress but essential to it.

It was an honor to deliver a keynote at the UN on the international day for the elimination of violence against women on the role AI plays in perpetuating gender-based violence & the solutions we can employ to overcome it

“Don’t ban TikTok. Give it to the people.”
This is Frank McCourt, the founder of project Liberty making the bid for TikTok to turn it into a decentralized social platform where we own our data, our experience, ourselves.

Hi from the Summit on the Future of the Internet! A healthier social web is possible.

Will AGI be achieved under the new administration? Was not expecting this question! But the reality is, this administration will likely serve in the defining era of AI policy. Governing critical advancements in the field.
