In 2026, @uwmadison.bsky.social will move from early investment in AI toward broad institutional readiness, centering people, judgment and institutional guardrails. DSI Director @kylecranmer.bsky.social will participate in the AI Readiness and Competency Working Group. news.wisc.edu/uw-madison-d...
WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her"
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads
The effort, which supports a number of campus priorities, will focus on a people-centered approach to guide thoughtful use of artificial intelligence on campus.
Core software infrastructure tools like this continue to be incredibly highly sided. Ironically, they’re also often severely underfunded.

I have great memories of this project, which developed from a narrowly scoped question to something much more impactful over more than a year. It’s interesting how terms like “Asimov” and “signal strength” and “mu” now permeate the field.
