- Reposted by Lana TikhomirovFunny to see Western AI executives say the hype around DeepSeek is exaggerated when their entire industry is built on exaggeration of the capabilities and possible returns of Western generative AI.

- Reposted by Lana TikhomirovHoly moly. I'm trying to write an academic paper, and nearly every application I'm using is not only offering Generative AI as an option for writing, but *pushing it* -- pervading the design to the point where a simple misclick would make my content AI-generated. Here's why that's a problem. 🧵
- Reposted by Lana TikhomirovThe fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M. Beautiful.
- So happy to be a part of this project. 🐥
- CANAIRI - Collaboration for AI Translational Trials - takes flight!🪽 We will work together to define how to take a #sociotechnical approach to responsible #AI integration in healthcare. Spearheaded by my awesome co-lead @mdmccradden.bsky.social 🦜 nature.com/articles/s41...

- Reposted by Lana TikhomirovSo reach out to me and @xiaoliu.bsky.social if you want to get involved with #CANAIRI to build the practices around translational trials for better AI translation!
- Reposted by Lana TikhomirovWe propose that ethical governance for health institutions should be grounded in these local evaluations (not just AI vibes 😎) to ensure that when we say a tool ‘works,’ it means it works for US, for OUR patients, for OUR staff, and we have the evidence to say that.
- Reposted by Lana TikhomirovWhat does this look like? It will be different for each tool, depending on many things including how much works has been done before on similar tools, how different the local context is, etc. How do we decide? That’s what we want to figure out, and we need your help!
- Reposted by Lana TikhomirovFairness evaluations, human factors, cognitive science, patient engagement, environmental considerations (+++ to this one!), economics, and more ➡️ taking this global perspective from the get-go we think will reduce wasteful translation and optimize the benefit!
- Reposted by Lana TikhomirovMany know this already. But we can be doing better with how silent trials are practiced. It’s not just about the model - so we introduce ‘translational trial’ to signal the need for a more holistic evaluation during this silent stage, recognizing that AI is a sociotechnical tool
- Reposted by Lana Tikhomirov📣 CANAIRI: the Collaboration for Translational AI Trials! Co lead @xiaoliu.bsky.social @naturemedicine.bsky.social Perhaps most important to AI translation is the local silent trial. Ethically, and from an evidentiary perspective, this is essential! url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/pQSsClx14m...
- Reposted by Lana Tikhomirov"When trying to develop a measure of intelligence, it’s essential to avoid Goodhart’s law: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” As a community of AI researchers, we really need to figure that one out." @melaniemitchell.bsky.social aiguide.substack.com/p/did-openai...

- Reposted by Lana TikhomirovThe really grim reality is that this is really not just about kids - there are countless adults, often adult *professionals*(doctors, lawyers, teachers(!)) that use ChatGPT this way. And I can understand why - there's no warning on the box! Few truly understand the tech's very real limitations.

- Reposted by Lana TikhomirovI'd like people to stop using the term alignment (as in aligning AI with human values). it's just vacuous. human value is infinite & culture, history, ideology & context dependent & not something you can entirely quantify & automate either

- Hey everyone! Thought I'd introduce myself to any new followers here- I'm a PhD student at the University of Adelaide with a background in cognitive psychology, specialising in high-risk decision-making with AI algorithms. I also use perspectives from bioethics and algorithmic safety in my work.
