🚨NEW PAPER🚨 How outbreaks are ACTUALLY responded to 🦠👞🔎 It's about informal practices in outbreak investigations and response. Those that stray (or completely abandon) official protocols. Often treated as deviant or detrimental, but are they actually key?

How do you get people to care about global catastrophic risks that are complex, fear-inducing and shrouded in uncertainty? At @CSERCambridge, my research has explored how creativity can help to confront these challenges, and I’m grateful to the @UNDRR for featuring my work!

What happens if two self-driving cars approach each other? Might one be set to veer left, and the other veer right, leading to a crash? When algorithms meet algorithms, bizarre things can happen. We call this "algorithmic collision", and just wrote a paper on it!

For anyone wondering what it really means to put a "Human in the loop" of an AI system, take a look at our new interdisciplinary preprint "Formalising Human-in-the-Loop" discussing it. Think having a human there will always keep an AI system safe? Think again.
