🎓 How Yale is approaching AI + 💻 How the US can enforce AI standards.

Happy Labor Day Everyone 🛠️,

As we honor the achievements of the labor movement, we must also recognize that the nature of "work" is transforming thanks to technological advancements. While the holiday celebrates the dignity of work and how economic gains are created by workers, the reality is that automation and generative AI models are rapidly changing the employment landscape. Jobs that once required human effort are increasingly being handled by machines. Yet rather than resist this shift, we must adapt - by focusing on uniquely human skills like creativity and empathy that technology cannot replicate.

Our publication will continue covering major strides in tech, highlighting ways to rapidly reskill and stay competitive in this fast-evolving world. The future of labor may look very different in years to come. But by embracing change proactively, we can ensure to still earn a decent living and drive prosperity. This Labor Day, let's honor work's contributions while also envisioning the evolution of work.

🎓 How Yale approaches ChatGPT

Yale never considered banning ChatGPT, instead wanting to encourage experimentation and discussion around AI's societal impacts. The school stresses reexamining course goals in light of AI capabilities and justifying human learning.

Yale is concerned about student privacy risks from generative models but feels banning technology is premature. Cheating worries are secondary to addressing root causes like mental health crises. Yale advises faculty to engage with the tech and get guidance from students who are already adept users. Overall the school aims to prepare students for an AI-integrated world by working with the technology responsibly rather than rejecting it outright.

💻 How the US should use chip leadership to enforce AI standards.

Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind, argues the US should leverage its dominance in AI chips like Nvidia's to enforce minimum global standards for artificial intelligence use.

He proposes restricting sales of Nvidia chips to buyers who pledge to use AI safely and ethically, basically using the chips as chokepoints. No regulation, No chips… Suleyman believes rapid AI advances warrant action before systems become too complex to control in the next decade. He advocates tech companies taking more responsibility through transparency and audits. While supporting recent voluntary industry commitments, Suleyman argues comprehensive US legislation is unlikely and calls for a new global AI oversight institution. Overall he warns unchecked AI risks outrunning regulatory efforts and urges the US to assert global leadership.
