I've argued that programming is like parenting, but this article takes it a step further, arguing that there's no other reasonable path for future AI. aeon.co/essays/creatin… @BrownHCRI

ACM announced this year's Fellows. Some great folks on the list---some WAY overdue. I'll list some of the folks I know along with their acm.org/media-center/2… @BrownHCRI

Nice summary of this year's NeurIPS conference: zdnet.com/article/a-quic… . Yes, that's me in the silly hat. It's for science. @BrownHCRI

Oh! It looks like my Introduction to Machine Learning for The Great Courses is out of post-production and has been announced! thegreatcourses.com/courses/introd… @BrownHCRI

In @Forbes story on autonomous cars, @BrownUniversity @BrownCSDept @BrownHCRI associate director Peter Haas says Brown is creating a database to help self-driving cars to respond to near-crash scenarios. bit.ly/3aBot8M

A story by @Forbes interviews Peter Haas, Associate Director of @BrownHCRI, about a new effort to create a database that will help autonomous vehicles react to near-crash scenarios. forbes.com/sites/steveten…

My chair has a name now! @BrownHCRI

Early efforts to make sure AI/ML researchers think about the ethics of their work! qz.com/1874134/comput… @AIhubOrg @BrownHCRI @NeurIPSConf

I've joined up with 11 other AI experts as well as staff at @aaas to engage in a year-long exploration of public engagement in AI. I hope to have lots to share in the coming months! aaas.org/news/ai-expert… @BrownHCRI @BrownBigAI

technologyreview.com/2020/07/20/100… I like that the article points out how GPT-3 exceeds the state of the art while also reminding us how it remains fragile. That's a lesson we need to internalize---AI software can do cool things, but it's never as deep as it first looks. @BrownHCRI

Nice little mini intro to Bayesian methods in the NYT today: nytimes.com/2020/08/04/sci… . @BrownHCRI
