I don't know if it'll be part of the government plan, but one thing that would help people attempting to measure the quality of their food intake might be a statutory requirement for the sellers of packaged food to publish ingredients and nutrition information as open data (with UPCs). This could then be used by apps (such as those using openfoodfacts.org).

Description of the strong approximation locus using Brauer-Manin obstruction for homogeneous spaces with commutative stabilizers
For a homogeneous space $X$ over a number field $k$, the Brauer-Manin obstruction has been used to study strong approximation for $X$ away from a finite set $S$ of places, and known results state that $X(k)$ is dense in the omitting-$S$ projection of the Brauer-Manin set $\mathrm{pr}_S(X(\mathbb{A}_k)^{\mathrm{br}})$, under certain assumptions. In order to completely understand the closure of $X(k)$ in the set of $S$-adelic points $X(\mathbb{A}_k^S)$, we ask: (i) whether $\mathrm{pr}_S(X(\mathb…

So arguably the Pac-Man ghost logic is the exact opposite of “AI”.
It’s extremely well defined behavior based on very basic deterministic algorithms that are so simple a 8-year old player can understand them and anticipate them correctly for those high-scores.
The game actually is famous for the simple enemy logic and studied by games designers for it.
Pac-Man enemy behavior:
deterministic, well-defined algorithm that can easily be executed on the most primitive* computer hardware
“AI”:
black-box algorithm with indeterministic behavior that requires a metric shitload of compute

*By “primitive computer hardware” I mean that the Pac-Man arcade machine runs on a Zilog Z80 CPU with 8,500 transistors.The CPU in the phone you are reading this on has (latest iPhone as example) 15 billion transistors or so (almost 2 million times more) and runs tens of thousands of times faster.

Joint Inference of Trajectory and Obstacle in Mean-Field Games via Bilevel Optimization
Mean field game (MFG) is an expressive modeling framework for systems with a continuum of interacting agents. While many approaches exist for solving the forward MFG, few have studied its \textit{inverse} problem. In this work, we seek to recover optimal agent trajectories and the unseen spatial obstacle given partial observation on the former. To this end, we use a special type of generative models, normalizing flow, to represent the trajectories and propose a novel formulation of inverse MFG …
