arxiv_authors: Arxiv authors (1993-2003)
Scientific collaborations between authors of papers submitted to arxiv.org, under 5 categories: gr-qc, astro-ph, cond-mat, hep-ph, and hep-th categories, spanning January 1993 to April 2003. If an author i co-authored a paper with author j, the graph contains a undirected edge from i to j. If the paper is co-authored by k authors this generates a completely connected (sub)graph on k nodes.

To stem the tide of AI-generated work, Amazon starts limiting the publication of "summaries" and "workbooks" that claim to be companions to human-authored books (Will Oremus/Washington Post)

Retraction Watch is now listing papers which seem to be AI-generated.
What I would like to know is how many of these authors thought they were at the cutting edge of high-tech hi-efficiency science by using AI (It's the future! Everything has changed!), and how many just knew they were cheating.

I wholly agree with the authors opinion.
If you fought for ISIS or Hamas, you’d be arrested as soon as you touch foreign soil.
Given the ICC rulings, and UN positions, IDF soilders should be similarly arrested when they step on foreign soil.
If anything, this might make people, and Israel, start to think twice about their participation in this unspeakable genocide.

Who Followed the Blueprint? Analyzing the Responses of U.S. Federal Agencies to the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights
Darren Lage, Riley Pruitt, Jason Ross Arnold

arXiv:2404.19076v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This study examines the extent to which U.S. federal agencies responded to and implemented the principles outlined in the White House's October 2022 "Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights." The Blueprint provided a framework for the ethical governance of artificial intelligence systems, organized around five core principles: safety and effectiveness, protection against algorithmic discrimination, data privacy, notice and explanation about AI systems, and human alternatives and fallback.
Through an analysis of publicly available records across 15 federal departments, the authors found limited evidence that the Blueprint directly influenced agency actions after its release. Only five departments explicitly mentioned the Blueprint, while 12 took steps aligned with one or more of its principles. However, much of this work appeared to have precedents predating the Blueprint or motivations disconnected from it, such as compliance with prior executive orders on trustworthy AI. Departments' activities often emphasized priorities like safety, accountability and transparency that overlapped with Blueprint principles, but did not necessarily stem from it.
The authors conclude that the non-binding Blueprint seems to have had minimal impact on shaping the U.S. government's approach to ethical AI governance in its first year. Factors like public concerns after high-profile AI releases and obligations to follow direct executive orders likely carried more influence over federal agencies. More rigorous study would be needed to definitively assess the Blueprint's effects within the federal bureaucracy and broader society.
