#DayOfAI

CAST Visiting Artist Chloe Bensahel is collaborating with Media Lab Professor zach lieberman and others at MIT to explore the ways that different materials carry information. “Every day,” she says, “I find new applications or new directions.” news.mit.edu/2024/chloe-ben…

Celebrate #DayOfAI on 5/13! While educators around the world share this MIT-developed curriculum with their classes, Museum of Science will host student demos + discussions with experts like Media Lab Director @davaexplorer and Prof. cynthia breazeal. media.mit.edu/events/day-of-…

The benefits of biotech are too great to risk misuse. Let’s help firms compete on security with monthly audits of gene synth providers, in which experts try to obtain hazards. Adequate screening = audit scores close to leaders.

Time to support the IGSC.
