I'm honored to have been invited to participate as an Expert for the Global Commission on Responsible AI in the Military Domain. I look forward to working with the amazing group of commissioners and experts who have come together for this. @GCREAIM

This image was a big inspiration for us @globalshieldhq - the vulnerability we face as humanity and the need to protect ourselves. Our name and our mission might be ambitious, but ambition, hope and courage is what this moment calls for.
The Pale Blue Dot is an iconic photograph of Earth captured by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990. Taken from a distance of around 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as Voyager 1 was departing our solar system, the image portrays Earth as a tiny, pale blue speck in the vastness of space. This image is a powerful reminder of our planet's isolation and fragility in the cosmic expanse, highlighting the need for responsible stewardship of our home. The photograph was a result of astronomer Carl Sagan's suggestion to turn Voyager's camera back towards Earth, offering a profound perspective on our place in the universe.

Congratulations to CSER research affiliate @rumtin on launching @globalshieldhq with co-founders @ArielConn and Jared Brown!
I'm really proud to announce that I've launched a new organization, Global Shield, with my co-founders @ArielConn and Jared Brown. We advocate for government policy on global catastrophic risk. The risk is only growing, so Global Shield is about getting government to act.

Hello X-verse! We are happy to announce Global Shield as the world’s first international advocacy organization devoted to reducing all-hazards global catastrophic risk (GCR). Give us a follow and learn more about us at our website. globalshieldpolicy.org/

With massive threats facing the world today, we believe governments will be better able to address these if they adopt all-hazards policies.

Apparently, @Mintmobile thinks it's fine to leave their customers stranded in foreign countries without cell service. Their website says I can add as much international coverage as I want, but what they mean is $60, which didn't even last 4 days of minimal usage.

Automation bias - the human tendency to place too much trust in machines - has already led to serious accidents. In the @IEEESpectrum, @ArielConn highlights how human psychology might limit our ability to prevent autonomous weapons from malfunctioning. bit.ly/3UzwYqU

Experts convened by the @ieeesa seek your help. #autonomousweapons #ai #ethics spectrum.ieee.org/autonomous…
Now, and really any point in the last few months, seems like a good time to remind everyone that if you're worried about #nuclearweapons there are a lot of orgs doing great work to reduce the risk they'll be used. And there are a lot of ways you can help!

You may be hearing the argument that before the rise of modern commercial infant formula, babies all ate breastmilk and everything was great. As a historian of infant feeding, let me tell you why that’s not true.
