Genome editing therapies are in the early stage of trials in humans, so the full extent of feasibility, safety, and impacts are still unknown. Public purpose considerations include technical feasibility, safety, and ownership guidance, among others. Read more in our factsheet!
Genome editing is not new—scientists have used various techniques to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for decades. Yet the application to humans was limited because the methods were slow, costly, and not considered safe or reliable to deliver the treatment in humans.
Check out our factsheet on genome editing! 🧬 Genome Editing (also called “gene editing”) is a group of technologies that give scientists the ability to change an organism’s DNA. buff.ly/44wPANr
In April, China published a draft regulation on generative AI. It has a mix of sensible restrictions on AI risks + signals its typically aggressive intervention in tech. More here: buff.ly/3KAV3Lp
For enterprises deploying AI responsibly and efficiently, enterprises use best practices like ModelOps to ensure these deployments continuously meet regulatory requirements. Check out this podcast to learn more about AI governance essentials here: buff.ly/3DkFK5k
Former OpenAI founders built Anthropic to create a safe AI company. Their experiments involve asking a powerful LLM they've created to deceive them, in order to figure out how to prevent this behavior. buff.ly/43JzizL
OpenAI marshaled a global pipeline of human labor for 2+ years to enable ChatGPT & GPT-4 to exist. Workers who dealt with the worst parts are still suffering PTSD more than a year later. My story with @dseetharaman out today on the front page of @WSJ. wsj.com/articles/chatg…

“Having access to the experimental results that platforms themselves use to understand their products is a simple, powerful step toward effective transparency.” - @natelubin & @RaviDataIyer for @lawfare lawfaremedia.org/article/how-te…
While differential privacy is increasingly leveraged to protect sensitive data against potential privacy attacks, policy is falling short. The privacy framework must be updated to promote investment & adoption of differential privacy tools. Read more in our primer!
Also, since there's no standards per se, companies are currently using differential privacy with weaker privacy protection than the research community finds acceptable.
FACTSHEET FRIDAY: Differential privacy is a safeguard used to protect an individual’s data privacy. It's a criterion that allows for the collection & publication of data patterns & trends, while protecting the privacy of individuals captured in a dataset. buff.ly/2OUFOme
A UN group set a goal for net-zero emissions for global shipping by ~2050, which is ambitious for an industry that's tough to decarbonize - but it may yet be accomplished. Slowing down ships and using biofuels are some potential routes. buff.ly/3Q0FIac
What is generative AI's impact on worker productivity? A case study from Stanford @DigEconLab and @MIT suggests access to AI assistance increased productivity by 14%, with the biggest impact on less experienced workers. stanford.io/3DrbG7W
The new EU/US Data Privacy Framework allows EU citizens to object when they believe their personal info has been collected improperly by US intelligence agencies - resolving an ongoing struggle btn US national security concerns & European privacy rights. buff.ly/3JQPiZo
