“AI that benefits all humanity” without a single woman or person of color on the OpenAI board. Where have I heard this story before?
I miss my friend Alaa. He has been in arbitrarily detained in Egypt for years for advocating for respect for human rights and democracy. Please help us remind people of the importance of his case:
Today, Alaa's family have filed an urgent appeal with the United Nations. Alaa is arbitrarily detained, in contravention of international law and today's petition requests urgent action from the UN. Please share widely to help. Press release here: freealaa.net/unwgad-urgent-…

So excited to be teaching this Fellowship along with @robreich @krmaher and others at @Stanford. This is the course I wish I could have taken when I was younger. Now these amazing students will share theory and practice of tech policy ❤️↘️
Meet our inaugural class of Tech Ethics & Policy Summer Fellows! These fellows will work across various government agencies, think tanks, and legislative offices in Washington, D.C. to better understand how the U.S. government enacts tech policy. stanford.io/3ymCPqb
I am giddy to be launching our @collect_intel whitepaper today. It feels like the beginning of the most important work I’ve ever contributed to. And it’s an absurd, extravagant honor to be working on this alongside my dear friends, allies, and intellectual heroes.
Today, we are publishing the Collective Intelligence Project whitepaper, our R&D agenda for transformative tech governance. It is our contribution to what we see as one of the world’s biggest problems. We couldn’t be more excited to share it with you. 1/ cip.org/whitepaper
