In the wake of discourse on STEM/AI-focused immigration, Husan Chahal and I found that 70 percent of the most influential AI researchers were either educated or born outside the U.S. cset.georgetown.edu/publication/vo…

Global AI talent strengthens America’s AI ecosystem. CSET research shows that nearly 87% of America’s foreign-born top AI researchers stayed in the U.S., continuing to work in U.S. universities & companies. Read more from Sara Abdulla and Husan Chahal: cset.georgetown.edu/publication/vo…

Immigration obstacles could impact the future of 🇺🇸 AI research. A new report by Sara Abdulla and Husan Chahal finds that nearly 70% of the top 100 U.S. AI researchers were born abroad. cset.georgetown.edu/publication/vo…

Very excited to be sharing our paper on confidence-building measures for AI! We suggest a number of approaches like incident sharing and crisis hotlines to mitigating the risks of conflict and AI misalignment. arxiv.org/abs/2308.00862

🇰🇷New Data Brief🇰🇷 Ahead of today’s historic U.S.-ROK-Japan summit, we are pleased to release a new report by Cole McFaul, Husan Chahal, @RitaKonaev, and Rebecca Gelles examining AI development and the #semiconductor industry in South Korea. Read more ⬇️ cset.georgetown.edu/publication/as…

Big personal milestone for me! My first CSET report, written w/ @hsjChahal, @RitaKonaev, and Rebecca Gelles. Ahead of today’s historic trilateral summit, we dig into AI development and chips in ROK. We assess 5 indicators of AI: chips, patents, investment, research, talent 1/11

Kudos to Cole McFaul, Husan Chahal, @RitaKonaev, and Rebecca Gelles for this comprehensive report outlining ROK's AI and semiconductor capabilities, released just in time for the trilateral summit.

Relative to population, South Korea produces more than twice as many bachelor’s grads in engineering compared to the United States, China, and India. Our new report by Cole McFaul, Husan Chahal, @RitaKonaev and Rebecca Gelles examines the 🇰🇷 AI ecosystem. cset.georgetown.edu/publication/as…

#SouthKorea is among the handful of countries globally that produce the high-end semiconductor devices needed for #AI development. Explore our new CSET data brief by Cole McFaul, Husan Chahal, @RitaKonaev, and Rebecca Gelles for more details: cset.georgetown.edu/publication/as…

🪩The State of AI 2023 is now here. Our 6th installment is one of the most exciting years I can remember. The #stateofai report covers everything you *need* to know, covering research, industry, safety and politics. There’s lots in there, so here’s my director’s cut 🧵

Still processing recent events but one thing I am sure of is that Mira Murati is the best choice the board could have made for interim CEO, and she will do an amazing job leading OpenAI into its next and best phase.

Hacker News comments about the firing of Sam Altman are *filled* with misogyny about Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley. Tech bros who have no idea what CSET and RAND are making insane claims about their credibility. Wtf is wrong with people.

My position is currently basically like “please just reunite and keep things substantively as they were before, pretend this never happened”

You in September: “let’s finish these projects no later than the end of November, so we can all enjoy a restful December” You in late November:
