AI Exec Order Ocrober 202310 Philanthropies join Harris in AforVeryGood We are excited to partner with Vice President Kamala Harris on her new initiative at this critical time to ensure that Artificial Intelligence advances the public interest across key areas, promotes responsible innovation, and mitigates harm. This effort is intended to work in tandem with President Biden’s Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy AI, ensuring that resources across government and philanthropy are working to advance equity in AI.
The Kapor Foundation is proud to join nine other philanthropic organizations who are collectively deploying $200 million in grants to advance equitable AI in priority areas as outlined by VP Harris today:
1. Ensure that AI protects democracy and the rights and freedoms of all people
2. Leverage AI to innovate in the public interest and deliver breakthroughs to improve quality of life for people around the world
3. Empower workers to thrive amid AI-driven changes across sectors and industries
4. Improve transparency, interpretability, and accountability for AI models, companies, and deployers
5. Support the development of international AI rules and norms
As part of our Equitable Technology Policy Initiative, we support key organizations and leaders that embody these core principles and are advancing racial justice-centered technology policy, advocacy, research, and programs. We’d like to uplift the important work of our partners across the ecosystem including The Distributed AI Research Institute, Center on Race & Digital Justice, Algorithmic Justice League, Color of Change, NAACP, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, Tech Equity Collaborative, AI for the People, Consumer Reports Digital Lab, Federation of American Scientists, Disinfo Defense League, Free Press, Disinfo Federation, Equis, Heller Institute’s Institute for Economic and Racial Equity, New Media Ventures, NorCal Grantmakers, Tech Transparency Project, and more.

| DEEP LEARNING AI Most breakthrough AI now accesses accelerated computing architecture which since 2012 has itself increased in deep data efficiency by 1000 fold or even a million fold. It is likely that most people will become a user of AI without actually doing the supercomputer analysis. Take the example of your tv weather forecaster. Few of these people are skilled at supercomputing; they download an uptodate model that has come from a supercomputer but which enables them to play out weather you will experience. However if you want to understand supercomputer programing you might find this 8 hour youtube course from National AI lab Argonne (Department of Energy) suitable.  (Please tell me if you see a free 8 course that does this better). However to understand cases of AI I would go straight to these annual updates on what superchip designers (around Nvidia) believe they have advanced annually from 2015 or I would look at up to 8000 application cases here. If you are under 25 I would be very surprised if you dont spend most of your life playing with AI becoming ever easier to use and ever smarter wherever human progress depends on eb=ver deeper data including real time data we generate. . | .Argonne is chosen from 2024 resources being shared by US NAIRR pilot convened by National Science Foundation, co-sponsored by about 30 copaanies and 12 government sources. before the chats appeared London AI offered the big breakthrough in Nature AI (Deep Mind led by Hassabis) and those linked to Stanford's computer vision annual comperition imagenet by fei--fei li advanced not only robotics and bots but how humans ourselves use our 5 senses and particularly how we progress from 2 dimensional diagnostics eg xrays to 3d models (surgeons actually need to use).

| .Previously leading Mastercard and Exor (Agnelli family fund hq in Amssterdam), Ajay Banga has had a business first year transforming the world bank's funds and intelligence. Speech Bank ABCDE conference July 2024 The mission at WB's front door has doubled up from end extreme poverty to ...and build livable planet. This twin goal giver permission for every locality to linkin: what do the peoples' diversity of experience on planet most urgently need development attention to.? Compare livable planet with what Deep Learning AI friends call data sovereignty. In Africa, Banga is piloting getting 300 million people green electricity by 2030! but only if African Union bank partners in doing at least a fifth of this. Almost all will be getting access to electricity grids for first time. The good news is that solar etc electricity is now cheaper than carbon if there are no legacy grids to convert. (But thats also why letting ai loose on grid design (a priority Bezos Earth challenge) may be how advanced nations catch up with race to carbon zero). IT would be fascinating if Jim Kim and Banga have started sharing intel; local health advances being Kim's signature contribution over 6 yeras at world bank but since then he has been at Global Infrastructure Investment Bank focused out of New York by a Nigerian founder (before recent acquistion by blackrock) This ABCDE summit clarifies that most sdgs would individually need trillions of investment which has not been sourced (ie when UN announced goals 2015 -there was no realistic budgeting). A major issue to this day is that over hundred trillion dollars of pension funds does not recognise sdg compasses as asset grade. The world bank announced from this years on, Bank ABCDE summits will choose a co-partner on 2024 this is CDGDEV where much of the summit is streamed.

https://x.com/i/lists/1814259623240556616 hello i wonder if you can help me with a question on how very good ai chat uses X- with someone like fei-fei li its easy as she has her own account; with deep mind hassabis I dont think he has his own account but I understand that one of the roles of his COO Lila Ibrahim is to X best breaking news; my first question is about Jensen Huang and Nvidia; am i correct that he does not have an account? is there one first X account to follow to understand what huang sees as most urgent human ai progress? - if its more complicated and depends on multiple uptodates from different moving parts of nvidia- do you have any suggestions of x accounts to cover that?

That's a great question about Jensen Huang and NVIDIA's perspective on AI progress. Here's what I can tell you:
Jensen Huang Account:
Jensen Huang likely doesn't have a personal social media account for AI updates. CEOs typically communicate through official company channels.
Following NVIDIA for AI Progress:
NVIDIA Website & Newsroom: The best first stop is the NVIDIA website's About NVIDIA section, particularly the CEO biography and newsroom (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lXLBTBBil2U). This provides official pronouncements and Jensen Huang's public statements on AI.
Jensen Huang at Conferences: Huang speaks at tech conferences like CES or GTC. You can find videos of past talks online to understand his views on AI progress.
Multiple Sources for NVIDIA's AI Focus:
NVIDIA Blogs: NVIDIA has several blogs by different teams, like the NVIDIA AI blog. These offer insights into specific areas of NVIDIA's AI work (https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/).
NVIDIA Research: The NVIDIA Research website showcases ongoing research projects, providing a glimpse into their focus areas (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/research/).
Following NVIDIA Executives on Social Media: Some NVIDIA executives might be active on social media, offering insights into different aspects of the company's AI efforts. You can find their profiles on platforms like LinkedIn.
By following these suggestions, you can get a comprehensive understanding of how NVIDIA views AI progress and what Jensen Huang sees as the most urgent areas for human-AI collaboration.
Thank you - overall do i read you to say that there probably isnt a complete enough way to folow jensen huang through selection of X/twitter accounts?

You're absolutely right. There isn't a single, complete way to follow Jensen Huang's perspective on AI progress through social media accounts.
Here's why:
Limited Social Media Presence: Jensen Huang, like many CEOs, likely prioritizes official communication channels.
Focus on Company Image: Official channels like the NVIDIA website and newsroom ensure controlled messaging that aligns with the company's image.
However, there are still valuable resources beyond social media:
Public Appearances & Talks: Look for videos of Jensen Huang's talks at conferences like CES or GTC. These can offer insights into his views on AI.
Industry News & Interviews: Keep an eye out for news articles or interviews featuring Jensen Huang. These can reveal his perspective on current AI trends.
While these may not provide the real-time updates you might get from a social media account, they offer a more in-depth and reliable understanding of Jensen Huang's thoughts on AI progress.
