Antimicrobial resistance is a huge issue and an oft-forgotten killer. It kills more people each year than HIV/AIDS or malaria. This article is fascinating- it points out that while much of the AMR prevention discussion focuses on overuse of antimicrobials, underuse can also be a major issue.

What will it take for the U.S. to win the global tech race? From AI to biotech, the stakes are high — and the time to act is now. At our Spring Symposium, leaders from the worlds of government, industry, and policy came together to chart a path forward. 🧵 Highlights below

In @fortune.com, Miriam Vogel and I propose two critical steps for US AI leadership: 1. National AI literacy initiative — empowering Americans to recognize and effectively use AI in daily life 2. AI "black box" incident reporting systems — turning failures into industry-wide improvements

Lately it sometimes feels like there are only 2 AI futures on the table—insanely fast progress or total stagnation. Talked with @axios.com's Alison Snyder at SXSW about the many in-between worlds, and all the things we can be doing now to help things go better in those worlds.

U.S. AI firms, take note! An op-ed by @sambresnick.bsky.social and @colemcfaul.bsky.social in @barrons.com argues that China's "good enough" AI strategy (think DeepSeek) could disrupt the market. It's about affordable tech. Huawei playbook 2.0? Open-source Chinese models are closing the gap, fast.

You'll get to work with a great team!

Testing "explainable AI" isn't as simple as it seems. After reviewing 81 papers on AI recommendation systems, research shows most only test if systems are built to spec, but skip crucial real-world effectiveness testing. We need both. Time to raise the bar.

There have been a ton of AI policy developments coming out of the EU these past weeks, but one deeply concerning one is the withdrawal of the AI Liability Directive (AILD) by the European Commission. Here’s why:
