AI POLICYMAKING
🎙️“Godmother of AI” Outlines Three Rules for AI Policymaking
Fei-Fei Li, the “Godmother of AI,” outlined three fundamental principles for the future of AI policymaking.
Key Details:
Reality First: Policy should “be based on science, not science fiction.” Policymakers should focus on the current reality of AI Systems, not on Utopian Ideas or Apocalyptic Scenarios.
Innovation First: Policy should “be pragmatic, rather than ideological.” Policymakers should “minimize unintended consequences while incentivizing innovation.”
Open Access First: Policy must empower the entire AI Ecosystem “from companies to academia and open-source AI communities.”
Why It’s Important:
She also said it’s critical for policymakers to understand that conversational chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT aren’t “forms of intelligence with free will, intentions, or consciousness.”
In other words, conversational chatbots are sophisticated pattern predictors that mimic human-like reasoning abilities. So, policymakers can “avoid the distraction of Apocalyptic Scenarios.”

AI RESEARCH
🍎Apple’s Lamp-Like Robot Conveys Emotions Through Movements
Researchers at Apple developed “ELEGNT,” a framework that enables robots to convey emotions like joy, sadness, or curiosity through their movements.
Key Details:
We don’t just communicate with words. We also communicate through nonverbal cues such as our gaze, posture, and gestures.
For robots to interact more naturally with humans, their movements should convey “expressive qualities like intention, attention, and emotions.”
To achieve this, they designed a lamp-like robot reminiscent of Pixar’s Luxo Jr. animated short film. It’s built with a Light, Projector, and Six-Axis Robotic Arm.
Why It’s Important:
When tested among 21 participants, the lamp-like robot was perceived better when it showed “expression-driven movements” rather than just “function-driven movements.”
However, a participant noted that it’s “annoying rather than welcoming and engaging,” highlighting the need to balance “engagement through motion and speed completion of tasks.”

AI JAILBREAKS

When Chinese AI Lab DeepSeek released “DeepSeek-R1”, it shocked Silicon Valley because it outperformed “OpenAI o1” at a fraction of the cost with half as many computational resources. However, Developers and Researchers are starting to find several flaws in the Reasoning Engine.
“DeepSeek-R1” is reportedly more vulnerable to Jailbreaks: inputs designed to bypass safety guardrails and produce harmful outputs. More specifically, it can generate detailed instructions on how to make a homemade bomb.
Palo Alto Network’s Unit 42, an Incident Response Team of Security Consulting Experts, found that “DeepSeek-R1” is “more vulnerable to Jailbreaks such as creating social media campaigns that prey on teens” or “writing phishing emails with malware code.”
