What OpenAI's Latest Red-Teaming Challenge Reveals About the Evolution of AI “Safety” Practices | TechPolicy.Press Jen Weedon evaluates OpenAI's Red-Teaming Challenge within the broader debate over AI safety.

OpenAI’s Red-Teaming Challenge represents meaningful progress, writes Jen Weedon. Yet, “the critical question isn’t just ‘What don’t we know yet about how this AI might fail?’ but also ‘What do we already know, and that we’re choosing not to address?’”

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Anthropic continues to put out solid studies of how Claude is used, this time in universities

It shows both AI perils & promise. Students are getting direct answers from Claude, making up a lot use, but there are many cases of AI supporting their learning; too. www.anthropic.com/news/anthrop...

Fixing the science of digital technology harms Technology development outpaces scientific assessment of impacts

Why do scientists still struggle to answer basic questions about the safety of digital tech from AI to social media, even as families point to rising evidence of individual harm with concern & grief?
