I'm very excited to continue our work analysing the data from NASA's OCO satellites, co-lead by @NoelCressie, @andrewzm, and @bea_buks, along with students @joshhjacobson, Alan Pearse, and Daemon Kennett. A dream team!

Out today: short paper from me colleagues on policy challenges at the AI research frontier. The paper (based on an event we co-ran with @GoogleDeepMind) explores foreseeable extensions of existing AI technologies, the risks they might pose, and what policymakers can do. 🧵:

Nice to see this come out—it was wonderful to play a small part in this work. Well done @BKAByrne for leading this!

I'll talk about some of our (@NoelCressie, @andrewzm, @bea_buks, @AtmosJennyF, among others) latest work on using observations of atmospheric CO2 to look for changes in the carbon cycle using techniques from both Bayesian statistics and atmospheric chemistry. 2/

Ever wonder how climate scientists monitor when and where #CO2 enters and exits the atmosphere? Our new post for @uowcei provides an overview of the process and the fancy Bayesian framework #WOMBAT for CO2 flux estimation šŸ‘‡ @NoelCressie @mikebertolacci uow.edu.au/niasra/our-resear…

Maybe instead of just epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty, we need a third option which is how certain you are that there aren't bugs in your analysis code.
