Interesting chart — the same amount of top AI talent is leaving the US as is entering, which clearly hasn't been the norm

And the fact that this is led by or silently supported by folks from the tech industry, who have directly benefited from the thriving American research ecosystem for years...continues to baffle me.

Science & tech policy has always been a weird, niche thing. In the grand scheme of things, no one really cared about it, and I think we're all realizing in realtime how important it actually is.

Such a fan of this project! When people think of "multilingual LLMs", I know they're often thinking of spoken languages and natural language but I've long thought that "multilingual" work between and for different *coding* languages is massively underrated.

I will be visiting Stanford today, to discuss our ML evaluation class & recent papers! For those around, please come by and say hi 😊

"New" focus on validity ... there's several papers on this from at least 2021: arxiv.org/abs/2104.02145, arxiv.org/abs/2111.15366, …ets-benchmarks-proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/pa… I wonder how many times we have to write about this for there to be an actual cultural change in our approach to AI evaluation

I’m teaching a 3-hour session on Bayesian causal inference at Penn Causal Inference Summer Institute, 5/27-5/30. Virtual attendance options are available. There are sessions on many other really cool topics as well -check out the agenda: dbei.med.upenn.edu/news-events/20…

Excited we have some papers accepted to ICML Conference in collaborations with some tremendous folks 🎉 Looking forward to Vancouver to discuss model editing for LLMs/VLMs and improving medical benchmarking!

🌍 Help shape the future of IEEE SaTML! We are on the hunt for a 2026 host city - and you could lead the way. Submit a bid to become General Chair of the conference: forms.gle/vozsaXjCoPzcbt…

Q: What do school buses, desktop computers, and AI have in common? A: The same decades-old laws and processes apply when governments go to purchase them. Our new #FAccT2025 paper examines how these legacy public procurement norms apply to AI. 🧵

It's obviously much easier to justify spending tax dollars on science in terms of returns from spinoffs, but deep down I believe we should support science for the same reason I believe we should support art: it enriches our culture and ennobles our souls.

All Association for Computing Machinery publications will be 100% Open Access as of January 2026. When we announced this at POPL and CHI this year, conference participants spontaneously erupted in applause. The CS community is excited about ACM's move to OA!

In testimony yesterday before the Energy and Commerce Committee, Amba Kak spelled out what we have to lose: this moratorium on state AI laws flies in the face of common sense – it sets back the clock and freezes it there.

In the absence of federal action, the states have led the way for years on pushing forward common sense AI policy. This is really not good.
