“Then there is the strategy recently presented by Trump’s science adviser, a former employee of #PeterThiel with the unique distinction of having no relevant experience in research whatsoever. #MichaelKratsios wants to shift decision-making from experts in universities to private corporations, which, helped by AI, are supposedly better positioned to spot potential breakthroughs.

This constitutes a major break with the enormously successful approach the US took after the second world war: pour taxpayer money into basic, open-ended science which no private company would risk sponsoring – but with both citizens and American capital eventually benefiting from the inventions that came out of fundamental #research. Kratsios wishes the government to adopt “the intentionality of a serious investor” in order to usher in a new “golden age of science” (declaring something “golden” seems enough to succeed in Trump-world). De facto, as critics have rightly pointed out, this seems a strategy to take money from what Trumpists perceive as their political enemies – #universities – and shovel it to their allies in tech.”

Hang on, wasn’t centralist planning in the golden era of Chinese, Soviet Communist ideology?

US Top News and Analysis | White House warns of 'industrial-scale' efforts in China to rip off U.S. AI tech

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The White House warned that Chinese entities are conducting “industrial‑scale” campaigns to “distill” U.S. frontier artificial‑intelligence systems, systematically copying proprietary models using tens of thousands of proxy accounts and jail‑breaking techniques. Michael Kratsios, the President’s top science and technology advisor, said the effort produces cheaper, smaller models that may appear comparable on select benchmarks but lack the original security protocols, ideological neutrality and performance, and that such unauthorized distillation undermines American research and development. The administration will share information about the tactics and actors with U.S. AI companies and explore a range of measures to hold the foreign actors accountable, while noting that legitimate distillation for creating lighter‑weight models is permissible.

#Trump Picked a #Science Advisor, #MichaelKratsios with no degrees in science or #engineering
“This is an utter disaster,” said Michael S. Lubell, physics professor at the City College of New York and former spokesman for the American Physical Society, the world’s largest group of physicists. “#Climate science is dead. God knows what’s going to happen to #biomedicine. This marks the beginning of the decline of the golden age of American science.”
