Just realized this is the first year I didn’t submit anything to FAccT. The end of an era for me.

The band is getting back together! Tomorrow, I’m joining William Isaac and so many others I admire on Google DeepMind’s Ethics team to work on AI evaluation. Exciting times ahead…

we're hiring a social science fellow for voting rights at the ACLU! aclu.org/careers/apply/…

It finally happened. Someone asked me a question and the answer was something in my dissertation. I’ve been waiting for this moment for almost 15 years.

I will never get over how AI/ML people use the word “inference”

Said something mildly controversial on the internet and didn’t get skewered. It was a good day.

Jordan Nafa Adan Z Becerra, PhD Kristian Lum 100%. I spend so much time with my machine learning class, teaching them the difference about using models for inference versus using them for prediction… And then I have to go and tell them that people in machine learning use the word inference to mean make a prediction.😭

I miss when this app could be used to share links to your work, find interesting people with shared interests, that sort of thing. I enjoy being on the receiving end of a nonstop unhinged political propaganda machine as much as the next guy, but this is a bit too much.

I'm presenting our work on the Gaps in the Safety Evaluation of Generative AI today at AI, Ethics, and Society Conference (AIES) ! We survey the state of safety evaluations and find 3 gaps: the modality gap 📊, the coverage gap 📸, and the context gap 🌐. Find out more in the paper: ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AIES…

Join my colleague Iason Gabriel's team! You may even get to work with me, too, if you do :-)

Hi! I'm hiring a Research Engineer to join my team at Google DeepMind for the year. You'd be working with a great, interdisciplinary team on AI evals. Please share if you know anyone who might be interested! boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/jobs/… Note: this is a fixed-term, 12 month position

I’ve been trying to find a service that helps you go over various homeowners insurance policies and talk through which is best for you. Surely this must exist, but…

Colin Fraser look I get that you guys have shticks (and would never begrudge a shtick) but I don’t think you realize how much credibility you’ve burned. Shoulda listened to Kristian Lum!

#Facct2025 anyone want to go to the acropolis this afternoon?
