AI is not just one technology, but a collection of many types of technologies used for various tasks. AAAS' Center for Scientific Evidence in Public Issues is bringing together Sayash Kapoor, recognized in TIME’s inaugural list of the 100 most influential people in AI, and Joshua Martin, Chief Data Officer for the State of Indiana and Executive Director of the Indiana Management Performance Hub, to discuss what types of AI are used for different tasks in state government and the benefits and risks each pose when used in the public sector. Join us virtually on Thursday, October 10 at 2:00 pm ET! Register here: https://lnkd.in/dEurYRCt

FY 2025 has officially begun and AAAS Budget Policy Analyst Alessandra Zimmermann is giving us the inside scoop on the impacts of Continuing Resolutions.
Today is the first day of FY 2025, so I did a quick refresh of our report on the impacts of a continuing resolution- plus extra data from the Congressional Research Service on CRs during lame duck sessions that was published since we first released the report. TLDR: CRs cost money, time, and scientific progress so it's best to have as few of them as possible. Read the report here:

Announcement: The Golden Goose Award has added it to its flock! “This year’s awardees are emblematic of the positive role federally funded research can play to drive impact for society—in ways we cannot even begin to imagine,” said Sudip Parikh, AAAS CEO and executive publisher of the Science family of journals. The 2024 awards, which celebrate seemingly silly or wonky research, recognized efforts to aid red-cockaded woodpecker populations, satellite imagery of poop 💩 that led to the discovery of 1.5 million new Adélie penguins, and a model that better explains human cognitive functions — which ultimately proved instrumental in creating modern artificial intelligence and machine learning. https://lnkd.in/epRh-By5
