I feel like I follow the NBA pretty closely, but tonight I have suddenly learned that Porzingis was traded to the Wizards a year ago, and also that the Wizards have possibly the most hideous uniforms ever. Sigh

Congrats to all those elected to NAS this year, but especially to my colleague and friend Duncan Watts. Great to see someone working on hard, real problems get recognized.

Wearing my Amazon hat, I wrote a blog piece titled "Responsible AI in the generative era". Hope some of you enjoy it! amazon.science/blog/responsib…

Generative AI raises new challenges in areas of responsible AI like fairness, toxicity, and intellectual property. Amazon Scholar Michael Kearns explains why and how technology — such as retrieval-augmented generation, model disgorgement, and watermarking — can help. #LLMs

A good thread. LLMs pose lots of new challenges to responsible AI -because- they are (or might soon become) such powerful general purpose tools. Michael Kearns blog post today stakes out a good position I think: amazon.science/blog/responsib…

Congratulations Kate Kearns #nyucas2023

This has been a fun/interesting project

New work on a suddenly more relevant topic😬

Shall once again simply free-ride on the excellent thread by Aaron Roth on some recent work we did in collaboration with Martin Bertran, Shuai Tang, Jamie Morgenstern, and Steven Wu at Amazon Science. Paper is here: arxiv.org/abs/2307.03694

Fine I'll make an actual tweet. 🙄😁 Our paper on replicable RL was accepted to #NeurIPS2023! 🥳 I can only highlight the fantastic team effort between people from our theory group here and GRASP Laboratory. Big thanks to all the collaborators: Eric Eaton, Michael Kearns, Jess Sorrell

NEWLY UPDATED: "One of the things that we do need, in looking at AI, is precisely science fiction to engage our imaginations" Our interview on AI Ethics with @PaulaBoddington: fivebooks.com/best-books/eth… Books by Kate Crawford, Michael Kearns, Aaron Roth

Absolutely no

After joining Amazon as Scholars, Penn professors Michael Kearns and Aaron Roth, who wrote a book on responsible AI, discovered a series of real-world complications that they did not anticipate, like diverse data modalities, “last mile” effects, and the emergence of AI activism.

New piece on Responsible AI at AWS by me and Aaron Roth

Very excited for this launch, has been great working with this team
