Our wonderful team of analog astronauts from Spain finished the 1st half of their 2-week sim at #MDRS, learning how to live & work together in a Mars-like environment. Visit mdrs.marssociety.org to see daily reports & photos. #marsanalog Hypatia Mars #science #stem #utah 🇪🇸

Here's what I'm doing for the next year! Hello, Congress!

I'm very proud to join the office of Senator Mark Kelly for a year as an AI expert through the AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellowship program. What an honor!

Read this entertaining, important book by Michael Littman about how to communicate better with computers. He reminds us: "Machines are here to empower us." mitpress.mit.edu/9780262546393/…

New Senator Mark Kelly staffer Kiri Wagstaff is part of the first STPF Cohort in #AI. Kiri was previously at NASA JPL and she developed a course on #MachineLearning challenges Oregon State University. (Photo shows 5 of 6 AI Cohort fellows) bit.ly/48P3exU

The U.S. and U.K. jointly released "Guidelines for secure AI system development." Some great ideas in here! (covers deployment and maintenance too) ncsc.gov.uk/files/Guidelin…

What would Mars look like from a future orbiting astronaut's POV? The Odyssey orbiter captured its first images of the Red Planet’s curving horizon and layers of atmosphere, similar to the International Space Station’s view of Earth. More on these new images: go.nasa.gov/3GinHhC

Starting the day with the STPF AI Cohort @SerenaLBooth, Soribel Feliz, Eoghan Stafford, @rebvog and Kiri Wagstaff covering the use of generative AI tools, the need for rigorous fact and quality checking, and the future of #artificialintelligence and evidence-based policy! #AAASmtg

Why has machine learning failed to have much impact in healthcare? Because the field doesn't focus on what actually matters. We need to move from "machine learning ON healthcare data" to true "machine learning FOR healthcare". 🧵

I recently talked to Nature about my work in Congress on AI legislation. nature.com/articles/d4158…

PayPal shows us how not to use generative AI. wkiri.com/today/?p=5563

We are seeking thought-provoking position papers for ICML (deadline: Jan. 30, 2025): icml.cc/Conferences/20… #MachineLearning

Our new paper, led by Valentin, shows results of correlating fresh impact craters on Mars found in images with InSight seismometer events, allowing us to localize them in space and time. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Congratulations Firefly on this successful moon landing! Love the silhouette picture! fireflyspace.com/news/blue-ghos…
