@timnitGebru relatedly, I just learned today about Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology’s links to the Department of Defense (and its promotion of battlefield tech), but am surprised this isn’t coming up in AI reporting, particularly given CSET's board role at OpenAI.

Are these sort of connections things your org is tracking? I think it really needs more attention.

@kvnweb Sigh. Is that related to the person who resigned from the board they kept on asking me about? Acting like her story was sort of like mine? A brief scan of her bio showed me how much effective altruist she is and how much "US China race" she is.

@timnitGebru exactly that! I figured you were already on this. I just stumbled across all this by accident while trying to figure out who funded her work at Georgetown!

But there’s been literally zero reporting on CSET as part of the OpenAI story.

@kvnweb I know. They're painting it as "here is an ethical person who said the tech is not ready who had a disagreement with Sam Altman and was pushed out" story. And I'm like thats not it.
