NEWS AND HIGHLIGHTS

Princeton University's AI Policy Precepts Program is seeking nominations for federal participation. This is a non-partisan program designed to explore the core concepts, opportunities, and risks underlying the technology that will shape or influence federal policy making for the next ten years. The Spring 2024 AI Policy Precepts will explore the future of both predictive and generative AI. See our program webpage for more information and to apply by March 29. 
Now on the Princeton University homepage: "AI at Princeton: Pushing limits, accelerating discovery and serving humanity." CITP Director Arvind Narayanan, Provost Jen Rexford, SEAS Dean Andrea Goldsmith, and many CITP executive and associated faculty members discuss the core strengths researchers have in the three leading areas of AI research, which include: "advancing the capabilities themselves, using them for discovery and applications between and across disciplines, and grappling with the societal implications of AI." Narayanan summarized that “All of those three are tightly integrated, we’re strong in all of those areas, and they all benefit from each other."
The Office of Engineering Communications details the March 18 testimony of CITP Executive Committee Member Andrew Appel before the Pennsylvania Senate Committee. The article is entitled "Princeton election expert warned legislators about a commonly used computer voting system." Appel states "The continued use of computers to mark ballots on behalf of voters, as many counties do, is a “disaster waiting to happen." 
Former CITP Fellow and current OII Researcher Jakob Mökander, along with OII Professor Ralph Schroeder, recently published an article in the Social Science Computer Review entitled: Artificial Intelligence, Rationalization, and the Limits of Control in the Public Sector: The Case of Tax Policy Optimization.
