THANKS #TEDx for naming my ‘Neginformation’ talk in a handful of Editor’s Picks among 55k+ talks/yr. AI algorithms don’t just amplify misinformation, disinformation, malinformation — ‘neginformation’ is even more dangerous, insidious, manipulative. Watch at youtu.be/Cm587Oxjni0?...

Papa's Lessons Are More Crucial than Ever in the Age of AI In Memorium, President Emeritus Professor Chia-Wei Woo (1937-2025)

Most of you have never heard me speak of my legendary father, who I lost this month. He was the first Chinese-American to head a major US university — SF State — and founding president of HKUST. I wanted to share with you the most personal piece I’ve ever written.

Restrictions on AI Power will Backfire [Jan 30, 2025 update: This warning piece was submitted in early October 2024 to one of the US’ top newspapers, which declined to publish it.

In early Oct 2024 I submitted this warning piece "Restrictions on AI Power will Backfire" to one of the US’ top newspapers, which declined to publish it. No wonder 100% predictable events like DeepSeek R1 create shock and surprise. open.substack.com/pub/dekai/p/...

What else aren’t we foreseeing enough about #AI and humanity? Super fortunate to have been in studio with Kezi Ban and Katy Bohinc yesterday so we got a chance to shoot this timely clip from my book that predicted DeepSeek. May 13th “Raising AI” is born — pre-order at a.co/d/2XIfHuE

who’s got ideas on how might we imagine a better outcome than creating yet more filter bubbles? #AIethics

happy to see Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at HKUST which has become such a powerhouse since I joined its founding wave 32 years ago as a young #AI professor back when HK, then a British colony, still had shantytowns x.com/bloombergtv/...
