#Regulation is not all there is to #AI governance.

❗Publication alert ❗

Our INSCONS colleague, Jeongwon Choi, just published a commentary in #Science:

In the very timely piece, Jeongwon & colleagues discuss the implications of the recently announced 15% cap on facilities & administrative cost reimbursements.

Is flat 15% fair?

An NIH funding policy is misguided and damaging

Check out our research fellow's @arueland.bsky.social latest article if you are interested in the local dimension of #BigScience and the relationship between #science and #society 👇
