Many people seem to be turning to AI when they feel lonely or anxious. Some may even confide in a chatbot if they’re having thoughts of suicide.

So, how do chatbots respond when asked questions about suicide? Our new study addresses this important topic. bit.ly/45RdftT

An AI Revolution in Military Affairs? How Artificial Intelligence Could Reshape Future Warfare RAND researchers evaluated how artificial intelligence could reshape four "building block" competitions in military operations: quantity versus quality, hiding versus finding, centralized versus decen...

Our recent @rand.org research explores how AI could reshape four foundational building blocks in military operations: quantity vs quality, hiding versus finding, centralized vs decentralized, and of course cyber offense vs defense.

Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository.

(The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)
