Happy Emirati Women’s Day!

💥 Beginning a New Chapter at MBZUAI! I am thrilled to share that I have joined Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (#MBZUAI) in #AbuDhabi as Director of Undergraduate Academic Excellence and Professor of Practice in Political Science! ⛓️‍💥 #AI #HigherEd

H.E. Sarah Bint Yousef Al Amiri @SarahAmiri1, Minister of Education, UAE @MOEUAEofficial, emphasized the role of AI in elevating human potential, advancing creativity, and enabling continuous learning. #BeyondReadiness #HCI2025 #SaudiVision2030 أكدت معالي سارة بنت يوسف الأميري، وزيرة التربية والتعليم في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة، أن تقنيات الذكاء الاصطناعي تُسهم في تنمية القدرات البشرية وتعزيز الإمكانات الإبداعية، إلى جانب دعم مسارات التعلم المستمر، بما يفتح آفاقًا أوسع نحو مستقبل أفضل. #ما_بعد_الاستعداد_للمستقبل #مبادرة_القدرات_البشرية #رؤية_السعودية_2030

H.E. Minister of Education, #UAE: -We are responding to the unknown. skills and values are fundamental to make #lifelonglearning intrinsic. Changing the role of the educator is needed. Changing the educators competency framework to Install values and character #HCI2025

A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced... Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed. After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing. It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core. We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years. The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller. They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor. Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not! Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible. It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world. And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft. This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe. It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.

Throughout his life as a civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was committed to ensuring equal opportunity, especially in education. Today, we celebrate his life and the countless lives his work has impacted over generations. #MLKDay

Big paper I have been waiting for: what are the real impacts of AI on programmer productivity? It is a randomized controlled trial using the older, less-powerful GPT-3.5 powered Github Copilot for 4,867 coders in Fortune 100 firms. It finds a 26.08% increase in completed tasks.

We are taking Copilot to the next level. 🚀 Copilot will see, hear, speak and help in real time. Watch this demo to see what I mean. Soon your AI companion will start to live life alongside you, whether playing Minecraft or helping you navigate life’s most difficult challenges. Say hello to the future.

🚨BREAKING: The @Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI publishes its Artificial Intelligence Index Report 2024, one of the most authoritative sources for data and insights on AI. Below are its top 10 takeaways: 1. AI beats humans on some tasks, but not on all; 2. Industry continues to dominate frontier AI research; 3. Frontier models get way more expensive; 4. The United States leads China, the EU, and the U.K. as the leading source of top AI models; 5. Robust and standardized evaluations for LLM responsibility are seriously lacking; 6. Generative AI investment skyrockets; 7. The data is in: AI makes workers more productive and leads to higher quality work; 8. Scientific progress accelerates even further, thanks to AI; 9. The number of AI regulations in the United States sharply increases; 10. People across the globe are more cognizant of AI’s potential impact—and more nervous. ➡️Read the @StanfordHAI report below. ➡️For more information on AI policy & regulation, subscribe to my newsletter (link in bio).

OpenAI Japan — こんにちは!

Today is #NYUOneDay, NYU's 24-hour day of giving! Join me in contributing to student success and showing our #VioletPride! @NYUAbuDhabi

I feel like I'm gonna keep reposting my chat with @OpenAI CEO @sama about AI enabling the first single-person-company to reach a billion-dollar valuation many, many more times ↓

Today's a great day to write a LinkedIn recommendation for a woman who is crushing it!

Here are our prompts for educators and students, released under Creative Commons license. They are built around the pedagogical approaches we discuss in our papers, and have worked well in class. I hope others experiment with them, improve them, & share. moreusefulthings.com

This will be extremely valuable to read! Looking forward to it.
