@nancyscola spent time with @austincarson and the SeedAI team over the past month, joining us at the American AI Festival and learning about our work on Accelerate Science Now and AI Across America. Scola came away with a piece for @Inc that captures the idea behind SeedAI and what it looks like on the ground. Full story 👉inc.com/nancy-scola/meet-the…

AI is saving scientists time, but now they have more ideas than they can test. Turns out speeding up discovery is only half the battle. Great read from @SeedAIOrg’s Zhane Yamin 👇 acceleratesciencenow.substac…

“Making the American scientific enterprise better equipped to capture the benefits of AI and deliver them to the American people is bipartisan and necessary.” @Josh_A_New, SeedAI's Director of Policy, shared a statement of support in the Build America Caucus’s new Build More Agenda, a bipartisan plan with 60+ proposals to restore America’s ability to build. Faster cures and breakthroughs are a core pillar, and we’re excited to see science get the attention it deserves. Back in August, we wrote about this on the Accelerate Science Now Substack, along with a few other rate limiters slowing down American science. Researchers spend nearly half their time on paperwork instead of research, and our funding system isn’t set up for big, ambitious bets. Cutting administrative burden, backing X-Labs, and making federal datasets AI-ready are fixes our coalition has long championed, and it’s great to see them in a bipartisan agenda. Big thanks to @RepJoshHarder and @RepMaloyUtah for their leadership!

In the @SeedAIOrg newsletter, we break down emerging themes we're seeing in the AI and policy ecosystem and share some thoughts about why they matter. Here's what's been our mind the last couple weeks
