Great to meetup with colleagues from New Zealand Jo Hendy (CEO @ClimateCommNZ) & Grant Blackwell (Chief Science Adviser) and the amazing team of #climaTRACES Lab (represented by @RamitDebnath & @MatthewAgarwala) @Kings_College to discuss potential joint work with He Pou a Rangi!
📢 Excited to share: our @FAccTConference paper is now out! We explore 60 years of global AI Ethics research, analyzing nearly 6,000 papers to uncover the politics of knowledge production in the field @RamitDebnath @CHIA_Cambridge @LeverhulmeCFI @ai_cam_mission @Gates_Cambridge
Our paper received a coverage by @Gates_Cambridge! Thanks my supervisor @RamitDebnath and Gates communication team.
A new paper led by Gates Cambridge Scholars Abdullah Hasan Safir finds Global South voices are being sidelined in the field of AI Ethics - gatescambridge.org/about/news/glo… @TrinityHallCamb @Cambridge_Uni @cisl_cambridge #AIethics #GlobalSouth

More persuasive than untrained humans.
A new study finds that large language models are more persuasive than humans, especially effective at deception. It's not because AI knows everything. Persuasion has little to do with facts. It's all about delivery: the structure of language most people never even think about.

New preprint out with an amazing 40-person team! We find that Claude 3.5 Sonnet outperforms incentivised human persuaders in a >1000-participant live quiz-chat in deceptive and truthful directions!
"Physics-based machine learning for predicting urban air pollution using decadal time series data" by Cong Cao, @RamitDebnath & @rmichaelalvarez is our @Caltech/@CaltechLCSSP team's new paper to be published in @IOPenvironment's Environmental Research Communications.
🥳Excited to share our new paper @IOPenvironment's ERC on physics-based machine learning (PBML) for better air quality prediction in urban areas, led by Dr Cong Cao, @rmichaelalvarez @Caltech @CaltechLCSSP @Cambridge_Uni @ChurchillCol @Gates_Cambridge iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

📢 Paper accepted at @FAccTConference: It problematises the field of AI Ethics from an epistemic justice lens for the Global South! 1st paper from my PhD and glad to have MPhil and PhD advisors as co-authors Kerry McInerney, Alan Blackwell and @RamitDebnath. Details when out!
From one Husky family to another 🐾! I’m thrilled to announce that in the fall I’ll be joining @Northeastern as Assistant Professor in AI Governance. After five long and challenging job markets, this moment feels incredibly special.
