Third Workshop on Socially Responsible Language Modelling Research (SoLaR) 2025 COLM 2025 in-person Workshop, October 10th at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal, Canada

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.

The myth of sovereign AI: Countries rely on U.S. and Chinese tech As countries pursue self-sufficiency in AI, they risk depending on foreign companies, undermining their independence and their goals.

“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”

so happy that CSLaw will be in the Bay Area :D

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!

A poster for the paper "Position: Strong Consumer Protection is an Inalienable Defense for AI Safety in the United States"

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

'Sovereignty' Myth-Making in the AI Race | TechPolicy.Press Tech companies stand to gain by encouraging the illusion of a race for 'sovereign' AI, write Rui-Jie Yew, Kate Elizabeth Creasey, Suresh Venkatasubramanian.

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.

"Are we winning yet? FAccT, AI governance, and the shape of what comes next."

Red Teaming AI Policy: A Taxonomy of Avoision and the EU AI Act The shape of AI regulation is beginning to emerge, most prominently through the EU AI Act (the "AIA"). By 2027, the AIA will be in full effect, and firms are starting to adjust their behavior in light...

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
