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.

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.

What holds back Germany? It is not high energy prices. It's real challenges are aging, underinvestment, and too much red tape. Read more here: imf.org/en/News/Articles/202…

It's well known that lower income people tend to suffer much worse health. Is poverty at the heart of this disparity, and, if so, could a large cash transfer help close this gap? We examine an RCT that provided 1000 low income participants $1000/month for 3 years. We find…

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?

I'm late on promoting this JBES paper with my terrific coauthors, @TymonSloczynski and @sderyauysal. We study different versions of IPW LATE estimators. Normalization is crucial for ensuring translation invariance and scale invariance when using logs.
