As President of Americans for Responsible Innovation (ARI), proud of our team's efforts in bringing everyone from @OpenAI to @ACLU and many orgs in between to support more funding for NIST, an institution that is now among the most important in the federal government.
@Bob_Wachter @JAMA_current @erikbryn Wait until you see what I am working on....
Luck or skill?

@Noahpinion The number of highly successful multinationals coming out of Sweden, a country of just 10 million people, is astonishing. Think Volvo, IKEA, Saab, Spotify, Ericsson, EQT. Very impressive nation! @Noahpinion @patrickc @tylercowen @erikbryn
