    How do you use machine learning to control a drone without worrying it’ll crash or do something weird? This group says that by separating out the deterministic behavior and using ML only on the stochastic component, they can give formal guarantees for safety and robustness.

    I wrote a blog post: "Neural-Control Family: What Deep Learning + Control Enables in the Real World." This post discusses some key principles of our work on learning robotic agility in safety-critical systems (e.g., Neural-Swarm below).

    In , I argue against the idea that India avoids choices & will walk a middle path in US-China competition. India does make foreign policy choices &, increasingly, those are in alignment with the US & its allies. The Quad is just one example.

    Competing perspective from on tech coalitions: a broad tent among democracies on tech will still be vital, especially for pushing back on authoritarian regimes like China. Highly recommend her Lawfare piece on this last year:

    Interesting point by on the Quad and tech: as opposed to grand alliance on technology, targeted coalitions like the Quad are more likely to succeed because they're more tightly scoped to each country's interests -- and thus more sustainable
