Today, we publish a Transformative AI Strategy for Europe. Over the last few months, we’ve rallied researchers and engaged with governments to develop a plan for protecting the prosperity, sovereignty, and security of Europeans in a time of rapid AI progress. transformative-ai.eu @MonikaSchnitzer and I are honored to have convened an all-star team of thinkers and researchers contributing ambitious near-term objectives to make Europe relevant again, including: — Creating a Member State Alliance for Supply Chain Security (@anton_d_leicht et al) — Making European institutions ready to act in a transformative AI world (Conor McGlynn et al) — Securing Europe's share of global AI compute, in a ‘European Way’ that benefits local communities (@philip_fox_ et al) — Ensuring resilience to AI crises (@ben_s_bucknall et al) — Making Europe the global leader in assurance technology — And more objectives around security of supply and leverage (@milorignell et al), economic strength (@FraukeStehr et al), and safety/security (@NoemiDreksler et al) Our all-star senior expert council of Europe’s best and brightest (and non-European friends) reviewed drafts, provided strategic advice, and made suggestions for how to make the strategy more useful: @Ph_Aghion @Christophkw @bakkermichiel @ischinger @vestager @aleks_madry @FuestClemens Marta Kwiatkowska @LeoVaradkar @antonosika @DAcemogluMIT @Yoshua_Bengio It’s never been more clear: AI is real, and Europe needs to act. We’ve had all the warning shots and wake-up calls we need. Now the question is ‘what must be done?’ This strategy is our answer. transformative-ai.eu

The argument is that a bibliography is supposed to be stuff you've FUCKING READ AND THOUGHT ABOUT.
what is the argument against using AI to compile a large bibliography?--as this is pretty mindless work

Handed in my thesis two weeks ago and finally have time for fun again. So I built two small games about AI vs. real economics writing. Can you tell a real top-5 journal abstract from an AI-generated fake? Three lives, no hints, leaderboard. kevin-kloiber.com/ai-or-real… #EconTwitter

Why is Management So Male? @HaegeleIngrid has a fascinating new paper on a German firm: Women (compared to men) are 27% less likely to apply for early-career promotions. Is this due to their aversion to team leadership? ggd.world/p/why-is-managemen… 🇩🇪
