What happened

This feed collects recent CS/cy submissions spanning AI governance, risk, and societal impacts. Key contributions: a critical framework showing datacenter/AI “efficiency” claims can amount to greenwashing by ignoring absolute resource burdens and rebound effects; a 272-expert Delphi ranking short-term AI risks (dangerous capabilities, competitive dynamics, weapons & cyberattacks, power centralization, misinformation) with many risks judged to have nontrivial catastrophic probabilities; analysis of agentic AI in education highlighting threats to learner agency and recommendations for human-in‑/
