The author’s take on leveraging immigration policy is spot on: "A downside of prioritizing AI-related research funding and immigration is increasing the existing imbalance among different academic disciplines." Specifically, CS is not the only specialty contributing to AI progress. Increasing the emphasis of CS and STEM over liberal arts (philosophy, history, etc) pushes us closer to some of the dystopian futures we're facing.
Love the diagram. What does filled vs. outlined circle mean in it?
Thank you! A full circle refers to a strong focus on the particular set of provisions; an outlined one refers to a weak/partial focus.

Thank you guys, as always, a deep and thoughtful insight. Will mention this week on @thursdai
Great piece, would be interesting to see what is built in reality, once the gazillion reports start flowing in
