Celebrating with some seasonally festive cookies #FrankTheRabbit #WhyAreYouWearingThatStupidHumanSuit

Saw this in my way home from the gym this morning. Top comment on the news article: “You can’t park there” Photo credit, the Sun Times News.

I know I'm like four years behind, but I just watched Stranger Things Season 4 "Chapter Four: Dear Billy" for the first time last night. It really stressed me out! Some catharsis at the end but damn if my heart rate didn't come back down for about two hours.

Content provenance technologies are becoming more important than ever. Just ask my pet bear cub. (This video was 100% AI generated)

I read somewhere that we were lucky to live during the brief period of human history after the invention of the photography/video and before it was trivial to mimic reality with AI. Now enjoyment of any cool image or video is tainted by the concern we’re being tricked. I think about that a lot

I'm excited to see Google's SynthID getting traction. It's an invisible watermark to make it easier to tell if an image/video was AI generated. But a reminder that SynthID detection can yield both false positives AND false negatives for AI content:

A message from my daughter to my Whovian friends.

In honor of TARDIS Day I'm resharing my daughter's bass guiTARDIS. Still trying to convince her to pose with it wearing my 12th doctor cosplay. #TARDISDay #doctorwho #TARDIS

I thought the Indeed AI Work Report was pretty fascinating. In particular this chart that goes skill by skill and breaks down how much each will be transformed by AI. It reinforces that few jobs will go away completely due to AI, but the vast majority will be transformed by it to some degree.

The launch of ChatGPT Atlas makes me think about how inefficient it is for AIs to use websites made for humans. It seems clear that we'll end up with a lot of traffic happening directly between AI agents - I hope that as we move in that direction we can keep a focus on standards and interoperability

Check out our new pet bear cub!* *Of course, this is not real. But it demonstrates another step in the inexorable march toward AI content becoming impossible to detect. Watermarks are easy to remove. We need to pivot to data provenance to verify what's real instead of trying to detect what's fake.

A bright side about Nano Banana is it's giving people both "wow, that's incredible" moments, immediately followed by the "oh, so deepfakes are now easily available to anyone" realization. The conversation around content provenance just went from "important" to "hair-on-fire" #AIgovernance #AIsafety

UPGRADING IS COMPULSORY (but good governance is essential.) As we build powerful new technologies, we must ensure they serve humanity, not the other way around. On that note, I’m excited to share that I completed Georgetown University's certificate in AI Governance and Compliance.

I'm excited to try the new ChatGPT agent! That said, I have...*concerns*. A thread! #AI #AIgovernance #AIrisk (1/8)

Ooo we made it until July with this prediction. "Taking over" might be putting it strongly, but I'd say that the ChatGPT agent launch confirms this one.

#5 Semi-Autonomous AI Agents Take Over. Next year, we won’t just work with AI; we’ll have semi-autonomous AI agents making decisions for us. Think: AI assistants with actual power. But governance is key—if we don’t rein them in, “decision-making autonomy” could spiral fast. 6/6

It was back in March that we met #davidtennant at Cleveland Fan Expo, but too fun not to share. He was lovely to meet in person even if he looks a bit nonplussed in the photo 😆 #doctorwho

So I took my mom to one of those paint your own pottery places for Mother’s Day. There was really only one choice of what to put on my mug. #DungeonCrawlerCarl #LitRPG

Key finding from the new 2025 Stanford AI Index: While enterprise AI adoption continues to speed up, implementation of formal governance frameworks remains low. The gap between deployment and oversight is a significant operational risk for organizations. #AIGovernance #AIRisk

Colin I already loved you but now I extra love you.

Well in my ‘option’ - whoever you are, I prefer Tom’s assessment and wonder why you need to share your unkind reference to Jodie… while hiding behind a ‘Gallifreyan’ screen. At least she and Sylv and I put ourselves out there whatever you may think of us

We're only a week into 2025 and barreling headlong into my prediction #3 "SLMs and Gray Market AI Boom". Being able to run a 200b parameter LLM locally for $3k is insane. Excuse me while I figure out how to justify buying one. #GenerativeAI #AIInnovation #FutureOfAI #AIResearch #NVidiaDigits

Nvidia announces $3,000 personal AI supercomputer called Digits

I agree that AI literacy is becoming increasingly important. Time will tell whether AI will be a good thing or a bad thing but it's definitely going to be a Thing! #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AILiteracy

Leading In The Digital Age–Why AI Literacy Matters Now More Than Ever

AI literacy is the new literacy of our time. By embedding critical thinking and ethical awareness into education, we can prepare leaders to thrive, and lead, responsibly.

Since we're at the end of the year I'll hop on the bandwagon and post my AI predictions for 2025...a thread (with added AI images, just for fun) #artificialintelligence #AI 1/6

So I’m pretty pleased with how the bass guiTARDIS we got our daughter for Christmas turned out. First thing played in it: #doctorwho theme song, of course.

Quantum seems like the next realm for high speed data transfer - great to see this breakthrough that shows we can do it on existing fiber alongside current traffic!

Engineers achieve quantum teleportation over active internet cables

Engineers at Northwestern University have demonstrated quantum teleportation over a fiber optic cable already carrying Internet traffic. This feat, published in the journal Optica, opens up new...

I agree that it's a losing battle to detect AI content or require it be watermarked. Makes more sense to me to have a way to verify what content is *not* AI. I'm not sure if the "Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity" is the best solution but it seems like a good start. #C2PA #EthicalAI

The elf had to call in some backup for this one. #DoctorWho

I'm an AI optimist and an iPhone user since launch, and unfortunately have to agree with the current state of "Apple Intelligence"...so far Apple is missing the point.

Most iPhone owners see little to no value in Apple Intelligence so far

A new survey suggests that Apple Intelligence matters to iPhone buyers, but the majority say that the initial features add...

Smart move, elf.
