📍 Come to the #NeurIPS2025 Position Paper Panel at 3:30PM where @princessacintaqia.bsky.social will be speaking about our work: "Stop the Nonconsensual Use of Nude Images in Research". I’m also around and happy to chat! Learn more: www.safedigitalintimacy.org/datasets More info below!

Very glad to be a part of a new paper detailing how developers and developer platforms can prevent AIG-NCII, a form of image based sexual abuse that disproportionately harms women and girls. Thanks to all the collaborators and Max Kamachee & @scasper.bsky.social for leading this important project!

Thanks to collaborators! This was a really interesting paper for me to work on, and it took a special group of interdisciplinary people to get it done. Max Kamachee @r-jy.bsky.social @michelleding.bsky.social @ankareuel.bsky.social @stellaathena.bsky.social @dhadfieldmenell.bsky.social

ACM members/computing researchers who should be members interested in contributing should join the subcommittee's mailing list! One of our goals here is to build policy coalitions across institutions so we can do more as a collective 💪 and balance special interest groups.

Can't work because AWS? It's a good time to read this piece if you haven't! www.noemamag.com/we-need-to-r...

Technologies like synthetic data, evaluations, and red-teaming are often framed as enhancing AI privacy and safety. But what if their effects lie elsewhere? In a new paper with @realbrianjudge.bsky.social at #EAAMO25, we pull back the curtain on AI safety's toolkit. (1/n) arxiv.org/pdf/2509.22872

Hi #COLM2025! 🇨🇦 I will be presenting a talk on the importance of community-driven LLM evaluations based on an opinion abstract I wrote with Jo Kavishe, @victorojewale.bsky.social and @geomblog.bsky.social tomorrow at 9:30am in 524b for solar-colm.github.io Hope to see you there!

Great policy brief from @datasociety.bsky.social - happy to see that it draws from award-winning work by @r-jy.bsky.social and @lucyq.bsky.social at AIES last year.

“States should think very carefully about what they actually want to get out of this before spending hundreds of billions of dollars trying to indigenize the entire AI stack”

📌📌📌 I'm excited to be on the faculty job market this fall. I just updated my website with my CV. stephencasper.com

First up, on September 5 @ 6 pm ET: a grounding conversation about how AI technologies are reshaping daily life, featuring ‪D&S director of research @alicetiara.bsky.social, advisors @merbroussard.bsky.social & Mimi Ọnụọha, & board member @geomblog.bsky.social. www.showclix.com/event/unders...

phrases coming up in my research discussions: "vegan LLMs", "beyond meat or impossible meat LLMs", "tech companies as mercantilists, or money launderers, or tax dodgers, or arms dealers". oh and also "code generation for XML parsers", and then "birthday paradox". What field am I in? good question.

Excited to be joining a great lineup of speakers at the Technical AI Governance workshop in Vancouver this summer If you are working on AI governance, definitely consider submitting! #ICML2025

I'll be presenting a position paper about consumer protection and AI in the US at ICML. I have a surprisingly optimistic take: our legal structures are stronger than I anticipated when I went to work on this issue in Congress. Is everything broken rn? Yes. Will it stay broken? That's on us.

This is a very good piece about sovereignty as a service and you should read it. 🧵

compelling piece on the distance between the rhetoric and the reality of sovereign AI

Very excited to see this piece out in @techpolicypress.bsky.social today. This was written together with @r-jy.bsky.social and Kate Elizabeth Creasey (a historian here at Brown), and calls out what we think is a scary and interesting rhetorical shift. www.techpolicy.press/sovereignty-...

The welcome event and first keynote are getting started! 🎉🦉 Our first keynote is by Suresh Venkatasubramanian (Brown University) @geomblog.bsky.social "Are we winning yet? FAccT, AI governance, and the shape of what comes next." #FAccT2025

So the EU AI Act passed. Companies have to comply. AI regulation is here to stay. Right? Right? FAccT 2025 paper with @r-jy.bsky.social and Bill Marino (not on bsky) 📜 incoming! 1/n arxiv.org/abs/2506.01931
