Hoy, seguiremos hablando de ChatGPT, específicamente sobre las nuevas características de ChatGPT Plus que ha lanzado OpenAI. En línea con la filosofía de OpenAI de hacer un despliegue iterativo de la tecnología gradualmente, están introduciendo gradualmente algunas características de ChatGPT Plus para estudiar su uso en el mundo real. Discutiremos el impacto que tienen estas características y los desafíos de seguridad y alineación que presentan con la humanidad. Los usuarios han estado pidiendo que ChatGPT Plus se integre con CH, y muchos desarrolladores están experimentando con ideas muy similares. Esto abre una amplia gama y posibilidades de uso, haciéndolo prácticamente infinito. OpenAI ha comenzado con un pequeño grupo de usuarios que están probando estas características y gradualmente ampliando la lista de usuarios a medida que aprenden cómo funcionan estas características Plus. Durante este período alfa, los usuarios de El A pueden integrar esta tecnología con sus productos. Esto sería realmente emocionante. La idea de construir una comunidad que pudiera crear herramientas basadas en inteligencia artificial. Los desarrolladores podrían usar esta tecnología para dar inteligencia artificial a sus aplicaciones, y en este caso, tendríamos ChatGPT Plus que están hechos con ChatGPT. ChatGPT Plus no solo te respondería, sino que también actuaría. Lo importante no es que te respondan, sino que te entiendan. No solo te entenderían, sino que también actuarían. Por ejemplo, si creas un Plus para viajar, podría hacer planes de viaje, itinerarios y guiarte. Podría hacer reservas por ti y proponer el tiempo de viaje más adecuado en función del clima y los precios. Las primeras características de Plus que se han creado para ChatGPT son el Plus de viaje, que te permite hacer planes de viaje, encontrar alojamiento y cosas que hacer en tu destino. Otra aplicación de ChatGPT Plus es Fiscal Note, que proporciona y facilita el acceso a conjuntos de datos legales, políticos y regulatorios en tiempo real. ChatGPT Plus se integra con tecnología para pedir alimentos y comestibles. Si tienes un Plus que convierte a ChatGPT en tu nutricionista o entrenador personal, y le pides que cree un plan de dieta o simplemente quieras menús semanales para comer normalmente. Podría crear un menú para ti, darte recetas que no se repitan e incluso crear una lista de compras directamente, hacer el pedido en EsTacar. Y como hay muchas aplicaciones que integran esta tecnología, podrías hacer el pedido en función de las recetas que ha creado para ti y realizar el pedido en línea directamente con el supermercado. Otra aplicación que ha integrado ChatGPT Plus es Kayak, que busca vuelos, estancias y alquiler de autos. Puedes obtener recomendaciones en función de adónde vas, la época del año y más, y todo esto utilizará la inteligencia artificial para hacer estas recomendaciones más adecuadas para el usuario. También hay características de Plus para compras que buscan millones de productos en línea. Hay una característica de Plus para aprender a decir cualquier cosa en otro idioma con Co-Speak, que es un tutor de idiomas internacional que te permite decir cualquier chatgpt-plugins Plan de Asesoria Personal Telegram Tecnolitas Déjame un mensaje de voz

This is: GPT-4 Plugs In, published by Zvi on March 27, 2023 on LessWrong. GPT-4 Right Out of the Box In some ways, the best and worst thing about GPT-4 was its cutoff date of September 2021. After that date it had no access to new information, and it had no ability to interact with the world beyond its chat window. As a practical matter, that meant that a wide range of use cases didn't work. GPT-4 would lack the proper context. In terms of much of mundane utility, this would often destroy most or all of the value proposition. For many practical purposes, at least for now, I instead use Perplexity or Bard. That's all going to change. GPT-4 is going to get a huge upgrade soon in the form of plug-ins(announcement). That means that GPT-4 is going to be able to browse the internet directly, and also use a variety of websites, with the first plug-ins coming from Expedia, FiscalNote, Instacart, KAYAK, Klarna, Milo, OpenTable, Shopify, Slack, Speak, Zapier and Wolfram. Wolfram means Can Do Math. There's also a Python code interpreter. Already that's some exciting stuff. Zapier gives it access to your data to put your stuff into context. Also there's over 80 secret plug-ins already, that can be revealed by removing a specific parameter from an API call. And you can use them, there are only client-side checks stopping you. Sounds secure. We continue to build everything related to AI in Python, almost as if we want to die, get our data stolen and generally not notice that the code is bugged and full of errors. Also there's that other little issue that happened recently. Might want to proceed with caution. (I happen to think they're also downplaying the other risks even more, but hey.) Perhaps this wasn't thought out as carefully as we might like. Which raises a question. So, About That Commitment To Safety and Moving Slowly And All That That's all obviously super cool and super useful. Very exciting. What about safety? Well, we start off by having everyone to write their instructions in plain English and let the AIs figure it out, because in addition to being super fast, that's the way to write secure code that does what everyone wants that is properly unit tested and fails gracefully and doesn't lead to any doom loops whatsoever. (Gross' link here.) Also one of the apps in the initial batch is Zapier, which essentially hooks GPT up to all your private information and accounts and lets it do whatever it wants. Sounds safe. No, no, that's not fair, they are concerned about safety, look, concern, right here. At the same time, there's a risk that plugins could increase safety challenges by taking harmful or unintended actions, increasing the capabilities of bad actors who would defraud, mislead, or abuse others. I mean, yes, you don't say, having the ability to access the internet directly and interface with APIs does seem like the least safe possible option. I mean, I get why you'd do that, there's tons of value here, but let's not kid ourselves. So, what's the deal? We've performed red-teaming exercises, both internally and with external collaborators, that have revealed a number of possible concerning scenarios. For example, our red teamers discovered ways for plugins—if released without safeguards—to perform sophisticated prompt injection, send fraudulent and spam emails, bypass safety restrictions, or misuse information sent to the plugin. We're using these findings to inform safety-by-design mitigations that restrict risky plugin behaviors and improve transparency of how and when they're operating as part of the user experience. This does not sound like ‘the red teams reported no problems,' it sounds like ‘the red teams found tons of problems, while checking for the wrong kind of problem, and we're trying to mitigate as best we can.' Better than nothing. Not super comforting. What ha...

Welcome to Episode 93. Jonathan Chen joins us this week. He is a repeat founder and tech leader with an established record of successful growths and exits. What I loved most about speaking with Johnathan was how he's able to provide creative tech solutions to expensive and persistent problems for healthcare providers.  Jonathan shared that it was his own frustration with medical practice inefficiencies on a personal health journey that drove him to start Nitro to help healthcare providers. Ultimately, he wants to help providers focus on what they do best, which is to serve their patients.  Nitra helps doctors spend smarter, make better decisions on how to allocate time and financial resources, and build a more efficient and better future. Nitra does this with back office solutions.  Jonathan's parting wisdom is: Hire well. Invest in your people. Give them the tools they need, listen to their solutions and help them solve their problems.  There's a lot to process for this non-tech person, and I found myself filled with awe about how Johnathan and his team are able to come up with so many creative solutions. Give this episode a listen to hear about what they've got planned. Bio: Jonathan is a repeat founder and tech leader with an established record of successful growth and exits. Prior to Nitra, Jonathan co-founded FiscalNote and served most recently as its Chief Technology Officer. Previously, Jonathan was the co-founder of Pathover, a B2B API-based intelligent routing and logistics solution. Earlier in his career, Jonathan founded and exited several other fast-growth software companies, including a dating app that within one week of launching had 15,000 users and within two weeks had sold to a much larger competitor. Jonathan's unique strength is combining bold, strategic vision, and uncompromising execution. A graduate of the University of Maryland, Jonathan has received multiple accolades and recognitions, including Valedictorian of his graduating class (BS, Computer Science). Jonathan is currently a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer. He has also been profiled by Inc. Magazine 30 Under 30, DC Inno's 25 Washington D.C. Startup Founders Under 25, and Bisnow's Washington D.C. 40 under 40. Find Jonathan: Website LinkedIn Connect With Us: Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy Tracy's LinkedIn Business Page LinkedIn

The market is down, but so are valuations for private companies looking at their strategic options. There are now bargains to be had for recent de-SPACs looking to execute a post-listing roll-up strategy, according to FiscalNote Chairman, CEO and co-founder Tim Hwang. This week, we catch up with Tim to talk about how his company has kept busy in the two months since closing its combination with Duddell Street. Tim reflects on how FiscalNote was able to prioritize key conditions in getting the right SPAC deal and how it is already taking advantage of being a publicly company. FiscalNote collects data on the regulatory processes in the US and abroad from federal institutions all the way down to local school boards. Tim also talks about the growing demand for data in these realms and how the pandemic increased the number of touch points governments at every level have on business operations.

This week, we speak with Tim Hwang, Founder and CEO of FiscalNote. FiscalNote entered into a $1.2 billion dollar combination agreement with Duddell Street Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: DSAC) in November 2021.  FiscalNote provides data products that track a broad range of legislation and regulatory actions at the federal, state and local level. These are used by companies and government institutions themselves to try and keep a handle on the constant swings and incremental changes in regulation in the US and abroad. We discuss how FiscalNote landed on Duddell Street as its preferred partner in a triple-track process, and how it plans to use its status as a public company to further its M&A pipeline and other initiatives.

The son and grandson of Army officers, McChrystal graduated from West Point in 1976 as an infantry officer, completed Ranger Training, and later, Special Forces Training. Over the course of his career, he held leadership and staff positions in the Army Special Forces, Army Rangers, 82nd Airborne Division, the XVIII Army Airborne Corp, and the Joint Staff.

From 2003 to 2008, McChrystal commanded JSOC - responsible for leading the nation's deployed military counterterrorism efforts around the globe. His leadership of JSOC is credited with the 2003 capture of Saddam Hussein and the 2006 location and killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. In June 2009, McChrystal received his fourth star and assumed command of all international forces in Afghanistan.

In this episode, Dan Sanchez talks with Becca Bycott who is the Director of Thought Leadership and Engagement at FiscalNote. They discuss why thought leadership should not be developed in isolation, how to include others in the conversation, and the results they have seen from brining a variety of people together to speak to todays challenges.

For most leaders, failure is not a matter of life or death. But for some, making life-or-death decisions is part of the job. What can high-risk decision-making teach us about the more ordinary and conventional risk leaders assume every day? What roles do preparation and instinct play in this process? How can leaders become better at conquering a fear of failure in order to make hard decisions? In this episode, Host Gautam Mukunda speaks about risk and high-stake decision-making with two remarkable individuals who have spent their lives doing the impossible in the face of enormous danger. General Stan McChrystal is a retired four-star general, former Head of Joint Special Operations Command in Afghanistan, and the founder and CEO of the McCrystal Group.

You can prepare as much as you can, but you kind of know that some random thing is always going to go sideways, but then the more often that you encounter those kinds of sideways challenges and manage them… I think you build some confidence to just know that when a situation arises you'll figure it out quickly” — Alex Honnold “Nothing helps innovation like necessity.”         — General Stan McChrystal Follow @GMukunda on Twitter or email us at WorldReimagined@nasdaq.com   Books Referenced: Alone on the Wall, by Alex Honnold Risk: A User's Guide by Stanley A.

Tetlock The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe   Guest Info: Alex Honnold is a professional rock climber whose audacious free-solo ascents of America's biggest cliffs have made him one of the most recognized and followed climbers in the world. A gifted but hard-working athlete, Honnold is distinguished for his uncanny ability to control his fear while scaling cliffs of dizzying heights without a rope to protect him if he falls. His humble, self-effacing attitude toward such extreme risk has earned him the nickname Alex “No Big Deal” Honnold. This Sacramento, California-native's most celebrated achievements include the first and only free-solos of the Moonlight Buttress (5.12d, 1,200 feet) in Zion National Park, Utah, and the Northwest Face (5.12a) of Half Dome (2,200 feet), Yosemite, California. In 2012 he achieved Yosemite's first “Triple Solo”: climbing, in succession, the National Park's three largest faces — Mt. Watkins, Half Dome, and El Capitan — alone, and in under 24 hours. In 2017 Alex completed the first and only free-solo of El Capitan's “Freerider” route (5.13a, 3,000 feet), a historic accomplishment that has been hailed by many as one of the greatest sporting achievements of our time. The story of this feat was told in the Academy Award-winning documentary, FREE SOLO. Whether climbing with a rope or without, Honnold believes climbing is a fantastic vehicle for adventure, an opportunity to seek out those high-test moments with uncertain outcomes in which you're forced to push through to survive. Though Honnold often downplays his achievements, his rope-less climbs have attracted the attention of a broad and stunned audience. He has been profiled by 60 Minutes and the New York Times, featured on the cover of National Geographic, appeared in international television commercials, and starred in numerous adventure films including the Emmy-nominated “Alone on the Wall.” He is the founder of the Honnold Foundation, an environmental non-profit.   General Stanley A. McChrystal is A transformational leader with a remarkable record of achievement, General Stanley A. McChrystal was called “one of America's greatest warriors” by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. He is widely praised for launching a revolution in warfare by leading a comprehensive counter-terrorism organization that fused intelligence and operations, redefining the way military and government agencies interact. The son and grandson of Army officers, McChrystal graduated from West Point in 1976 as an infantry officer, completed Ranger Training, and later Special Forces Training. Over the course of his career, he held leadership and staff positions in the Army Special Forces, Army Rangers, 82 nd Airborne Division, the XVIII Army Airborne Corp, and the Joint Staff. He is a graduate of the US Naval War College, and he completed fellowships at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government in 1997 and the Council on Foreign Relations in 2000. From 2003 to 2008, McChrystal commanded JSOC - responsible for leading the nations deployed military counterterrorism efforts around the globe. His leadership of JSOC is credited with the 2003 capture of Saddam Hussein and the 2006 location and killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. In June 2009, McChrystal received his fourth star and assumed command of all international forces in Afghanistan. Since retiring from the military, McChrystal has served on several corporate boards of directors that include Deutsche Bank America, JetBlue Airways, Navistar, Siemens Government Technologies, Fiscal Note, and Accent Technologies. A passionate advocate for national service, McChrystal is the Chair of the Board of Service Year Alliance, which envisions a future in which a service year is a cultural expectation and common opportunity for every young American. He is a senior fellow at Yale University's Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, where he teaches a course on leadership. Additionally, he is the author of the bestselling leadership books, My Share of the Task: A Memoir, Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World, and Leaders: Myth and Reality. General McChrystal founded the McChrystal Group in January 2011. Recognizing that companies today are experiencing parallels to what he faced in the war theater, McChrystal established this advisory services firm to help businesses challenge the hierarchical, “command and control” approach to organizational management.

Kim and Producer Steve address inflation as we see price increases on our purchases at the store. Gas has increased over $1 during the last six months. Look to public policy as to why it's happening. Biden closed the Keystone XL pipeline, for one. The AFL-CIO Colorado announces that they will not donate until next May, at the earliest, to Democrats because state Democrats did not adequately consult with them when deciding policies. Coercion continues as Governor Polis offers $100 Wal-Mart gift cards to people who get the COVID-19 jab, an unapproved FDA experimental drug. Beware: if the carrot doesn't work the stick will follow! Patti Kurgan, the researcher for The Kim Monson Show, connects more dots regarding Initiative 25: LEAP, a “parallel” new government-run out-of-school program that will bypass voters, and replace their voting power within an unelected bureaucratic authority. LEAP will be funded by a new marijuana tax and money from the state land board. The major investor in this initiative is Gary Community Investments contributing just under $1 million. One contractor has already received hundreds of thousands of dollars, Blitz Consulting. This information through the period June 26, 2021, can be found on Tracer, via the Colorado Secretary of State's office under Learning Opportunities for Colorado's Kids, https://tracer.sos.colorado.gov/PublicSite/SearchPages/CommitteeDetail.aspx?OrgID=40096. Proponents of LEAP need to be transparent and release details of potential distribution of $50 million to LEAP Providers January-June, 2022, per the Fiscal Note. There are organizations already doing what LEAP is proposing. Knowledge is power. Decline to sign this ballot initiative. Read Kim's and Patti's op-eds on LEAP on The Kim Monson Show website under the tab Featured Articles Jay Davidson, founder of First American State Bank, defines the “lexicon of the left.” Biden, Warren and AOC are all leading us to more government, a central government, and ultimately to tyranny via policy. The common thread in their policies is taxation, which is theft. Kim uses the example of the proposed Lone Tree 55% retail tax increase as an example. Jay interjects that about one-half of our gross income is spent annually on government when all taxes and fees paid are combined. The Great Reset is real as the elite billionaires believe that they can control and should control you. The leader of the Great Reset, Claus Schwab, outright states that there should be no private ownership. Global taxation, as proposed by Biden, exemplifies a move by the progressives in America to give up Congress' sole ability to tax, and when that happens, we are being controlled by others. Money is a vehicle to get power, and globalists are attempting to manipulate people through money. The collectivists do not use terms like control and tyranny. They use other words. Jay delves into four specific terms the left uses by examining their beginnings and their usage today: Equity, One World Order, Entitlement, and Redistribution of Wealth. Jay concludes that we can make a difference, without violence, by exercising our rights and understanding the “lexicon of the left.”

Intro.(1:21) - Start of interview(2:07) - David's "origin story."(3:42) - His take on lawyers pursuing "non-traditional" careers. "I think that ESG as a career path is going to explode. This is only the beginning."(5:04) - Paul Weiss' Sustainability & ESG Advisory Practice Group.(9:02) -  How did "ESG" become a core topic of corporate governance? "There has been tremendous pressure on organizations to perform better, to be better corporate citizens." "It coalesced gravitationally in large part because of social media." "The investment community needed an organizing force."(16:22) - His take on the "purpose of the corporation" debate (shareholder capitalism vs stakeholder capitalism). "Companies are being held to account for their promises and obligations." "You can't make empty statements anymore." "The pressure shift is severe from a reputational risk." "I don't know of a non-financial consequence at a corporation, everything has a financial consequence." "We need to bring the legal community up to speed to where the business community is." "I call this phenomenon the Super Law: How ethical obligations can shape business and your practice."(22:28) - His take on board diversity. "It's the best example of Super Law." "The genie is out of the bottle on this issue." Nasdaq diversity proposal to the SEC. "One of the dirty little secrets of ESG is that the numbers are not audited, for the most part." "This will be the decade of reckoning... companies will be re-reporting."(30:08) - His take on the roundtables that he's led for the past 20 years (started when he was at Thomson Reuters, FiscalNote, etc). The idea is to convene cross-functional people to talk off-the-record about issues in a real way (private settings). In ESG, every company according to the FT can both a sinner and a saint.(37:13) - His take on the Biden's Administration approach to ESG. Re-signed to Paris Accord (climate change is key) and will deal with a lot of the "S" in the ESG. The EU and UK regulators have been active, and have been regulating US companies. He counsels clients that they have to own ESG programs (consistent policies and procedures).(42:39) - His parting thoughts for directors on ESG matters: 1) Education (learn non-legal components of ESG), 2) They can't rely on D&O insurance in this era. Board members are working really hard now. They can't just rely on management on these matters.(46:55) - His favorite books:Snow Falling on Cedars, by David Guterson (1995)Wherever You Go, There You Are, by Jon Kabat-Zinn (1994)Any book by Robert Caro ("a master at understanding power")(49:02) - His mentors:Brad Karp (Chairman of Paul Weiss) "a true beacon of the legal profession""I take the good and leave the rest from anybody I know" "I've learned some the best things in my life from some of the worst people that I've encountered."(51:22) - His favorite quotes:"You can't plan for the future until you predict the present" (everybody wants to move forward, very few people want to do the hard work of self-evaluation -- where you are now relative where you should be)"That's arrogance without portfolio" (in reference to arrogant people!)(53:21) - His "unusual habit": "open to everything and attached to nothing."  You should be open to experiences that you don't think will help you. Example: he's a professional chocolate taster.(55:09) - Which living person does he most admire: As a group, healthcare and essential workers.David Curran is Chief Sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Officer at Paul, Weiss.

Today’s guest Becca Bycott, the Director of Thought Leadership and Engagement at FiscalNote, a technology and media company that provides information services and software that connects the world to their governments. Becca started her role at FiscalNote during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic working remotely and developing programs that would be offered virtually.  Those programs are tailored to give executives an exclusive and interesting experience driving by thought leadership that allows them to interact with others across various roles and industries to identify what issues they are facing and solve problems. We discuss the challenges of creating virtual communities that have the same meaning and sense of togetherness that face-to-face meetings do.  Becca shares she gets participants to go beyond attending a meeting to making them active participants in a personal way that will build solid relationships for years to come. This conversation tackles common issues like Zoom fatigue and how to move your social media away from being a one-way street of information into meaningful conversations.  Plus Becca shares some great advice for anyone looking to develop thought leadership for their company or organization. Three Key Takeaways: Thought leadership aimed at executives needs to help them put the current news into a larger context of how they can be more proactive in their leadership. Building virtual communities for thought leadership needs to create a sense of belonging for people to share the ideas and problems that mean the most to them. Using social media to spread thought leadership is great but you need to be engaged in conversations and not just talking at your audience.

The presidential election is over, and the results are being certified. President Donald Trump may keep contesting votes in court, but we're expecting the beginning of the Biden administration come January. Today we look at the state of the midstream oil sector amid an ongoing pandemic and an upcoming Democratic White House that won't be as friendly toward putting new pipe in the ground. The never-ending fight over the Keystone XL pipeline hangs in the balance, as does the fate of the 3-year-old Dakota Access Pipeline that's fighting for its life in court. But, in much of the continent, the industry is overbuilt with weaker global crude demand and falling US oil exports. We spoke with Katie Bays, managing director of FiscalNote, about what the midstream sector should expect in 2021 and beyond concerning regulations, pending projects, M&A and more.

Tim Hwang, a co-founder and the CEO of FiscalNote, talks about being in service during the pandemic.

Philip Resnik, PhD, returns to the Psychcast, this time with his research partner and wife, Rebecca Resnik, PsyD, to discuss the interface between language, psychiatry, psychology, and health. Dr. Philip Resnik appeared on the show previously to discuss artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and mental illness. He is a professor in the department of linguistics at the University of Maryland, College Park, and has a joint appointment with the university’s Institute for Advanced Computer Studies. Dr. Philip Resnik has disclosed being an adviser for Converseon, a social media analysis firm; FiscalNote, a government relationship management platform; and SoloSegment, which specializes in enterprise website optimization. Some of the work Dr. Philip Resnik discusses has been supported by an Amazon AWS Machine Learning Research Award. Dr. Rebecca Resnik is a licensed psychologist in private practice who specializes in neuropsychological assessment. In 2014, she served as cofounder of the Computational Linguistics and Clinical Psychology workshop at the North American Association for Computational Linguistics. She continues to serve as a workshop organizer and clinical consultant to the cross-disciplinary community. She has no disclosures. Dr. Norris disclosed having no conflicts of interest. Take-home points Dr. Rebecca Resnik and Dr. Philip Resnik are interested in finding measurable, observable features to apply to the assessment of psychological and psychiatric diagnoses. They point out that finding an objective measure is essential for scaling up mental health evaluations and treatment. Natural language processing (NLP) is focused on analyzing language content. NLP technology has generated tools such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Translate, and NLP allows computers to do things more intelligently with human language. Individuals are using machine learning and NLP to analyze language data sets to evaluate diagnostic criteria. The goal is to create or use language sets that can be analyzed outside of the clinic. Dr. Rebecca Resnik imagines a world where a patient gives a “language sample” to an app or an avatar that would be evaluated by NLP that would, in turn, offer some overarching hypotheses about the person. So much of evaluations is trying to home in on the correct signal, explicit and implicit, from the patient. In addition, neuropsychiatric tests/scales are standardized against a limited scope of the population, so NLP would be matched to the individual. Dr. Philip Resnik looks at signals in text and speech content, acoustics, microexpressions, and even biometric data. Machine learning can process and distill a huge amount of data with various signals more easily than any human. Dr. Rebecca Resnik revisits the idea of clinical white space, which is the “space” or the time between clinical encounters, and this is where decompensation and high-risk suicidal behaviors occur. She suggests that NLP software could be used to fill this white space by using apps to collect text samples from patients, and the software would analyze the samples and warn of patients who are at risk of decompensation or suicide. If clinicians were to use text or speech samples from people’s smart technology, we could assess an individual's risk in the moment and use nudge-type interventions to prevent suicide. Finally, Dr. Philip Resnik emphasizes that there are technologists who have the skills and technology that is on the verge of helping clinicians, but the key to progress is collaborating with clinicians.

Philip Resnik, PhD, joins host Lorenzo Norris, MD, to discuss the use of AI and natural language processing to help clinicians identify patterns in the behaviors of patients with mental illness. Dr. Resnik is a professor in the department of linguistics at the University of Maryland, College Park. He also has a joint appointment with the university’s Institute for Advanced Computer Studies. Dr. Resnik has disclosed being an adviser for Converseon, a social media analysis firm; FiscalNote, a government relationship management platform; and SoloSegment, which specializes in enterprise website optimization. Some of the work Dr. Resnik discusses has been supported by an Amazon AWS Machine Learning Research Award. Dr. Norris disclosed having no conflicts of interest.  And don’t miss the “Dr. RK” segment, with Renee Kohanski, MD.  Take-home points  Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the effort to get computers to develop capabilities that humans would consider intelligent when people do them. For example, a “smart” thermostat learns patterns of behaviors and changes the temperature accordingly. Natural language processing (NLP), an AI approach, focuses on the content of language from the words used and looks for cues within the content. NLP technology allows computers to do things more intelligently with human language, and NLP has generated technologies such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Translate. Much of clinical work is focused on language, and clinicians look for cues within the content. Dr. Resnik is a technologist who believes that NLP can help facilitate clinical progress, especially in the face of a shortage of mental health clinicians and the limited amount of time that clinicians are able to spend with their patients. Research aimed at using machine learning and NLP to analyze social media and other types of online presence to evaluate for suicide risk and the presence of mood disorders is underway. Dr. Resnik imagines an ecosystem in which computers and humans balance their efforts, with each “brain” doing what they are best at; he believes in technology’s ability to save us time so we can prioritize our efforts. Summary A common example of NLP is automatic dictation and transcription software embedded in medical records. Dr. Resnik thinks of technology as an enabler and augmentation strategy. Resnik and his wife, Rebecca Resnik, PsyD, completed a study using NLP to automatically detect clusters of language in the writing samples of college students. NLP software evaluated the natural patterns of language that might correlate with vegetative and somatic symptoms of depression and social isolation. His team was able to home in on language themes specific to college students that suggest specific symptoms of depression. Another example of NLP in mental health is using predictive modeling, taking in data, and then making a prediction about a pertinent variable to understand mental health outcomes. For example, Glen Coppersmith, PhD, and associates evaluated social media posts with NLP software and concluded that analysis of language in social media posts can accurately identify individuals at risk of suicide and facilitate earlier interventions. Resnik imagines a future in which speech and language samples are used to give a point-of-care evaluation of a patient’s mood and suicide risk. “Clinical white space” is all the “space” (for example, the time between clinical encounters) and this is where decompensation occurs. Resnik suggests that NLP software could be used to fill this white space by using apps to collect text samples from patients. Software would analyze the samples and warn of patients who are at risk of decompensation or suicide. Barriers to using this technology include engaging the technologists and clinicians, and accessing data samples because of privacy concerns, especially because HIPPA was written before the emergence of mega data.

Today we are getting an update on developments with short-term Rentals from Pam O’Dell, Executive Director of the Short Term Rental Owners Association of Georgia. The legislature is in session and there are interesting developments. Government involvement and interference with real estate development is nothing new. You don’t have to look far to find examples of higher prices and slower development because of bureaucratic overreach, fees, processes, and delays. I can give you many examples, but here is one: Government rent-controls end up costing landlords so much they are actually better off leaving a house vacant while waiting for price appreciation to allow them to sell. This leads to quite a bit of vacant properties in places like California. In a few minutes I’m going to share with you the state’s response to this problem.

Chris Lu has spent the last 20 years at the hub of federal policy making, including as Deputy Secretary for the US Department of Labor, and he is still a champion of public service. As he says, government matters: it builds our roads and bridges, creates the laws that protect veterans, keeps our homeland secure and our air and water clean. In his long tenure with first Senator and then President Barack Obama, he has been guided by a belief in the capacity of government to make the American Dream possible for all families, including his own parents, who immigrated to the United States from China. Now a Fellow at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center for Public Policy, Chris speaks often to young people who want to affect policy change. His advice, in the current political environment, is to think more expansively about where and how change is made. Chris sees innovation and problem-solving on issues from climate change to job training and Census implementation resting in local and state government, nonprofits and even mission-driven corporations. And he sees technology as crucial to the mostly calcified systems that nonprofits and companies use to manage government relations. He is Senior Advisor to Fiscal Note, a company that provides customizable online programs to nonprofits wanting to reach and influence local, state and federal policy makers. Chris Lu is a believer in our collective potential to make change. You might see him going door to door for a local or presidential candidate and he encourages you to do the same. This is where policy conversations really begin.

This is a special edition podcast to bring you an interview with a key lawmaker, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, about how Democrats will respond to Republican tax cuts. "When it comes to the tax breaks for millionaires that will definitely be revisited,'' the Maryland Democrat tells CQ's budget and tax editor Peter Cohn.  Van Hollen spoke to Cohn Tuesday a day after House Republicans unveiled a new tax package. The legislation would extend two dozen expired tax breaks, revamp the IRS and offer corrections to last year’s tax code overhaul, among other things. In a wide-ranging interview, Van Hollen discussed how Democrats will respond to the new tax proposal, how his party may push to obtain President Donald Trump’s tax returns, the prospects for an infrastructure spending package, the impact of the midterm elections and the possibilities for bipartisan cooperation. He spoke at a Roll Call Live Election Impact forum hosted by FiscalNote, CQ’s parent company. Van Hollen is one of the Democratic party’s best utility players. He’s a seasoned political strategist who has chaired the campaign committees for both House and Senate Democrats. He’s also a policy wonk who is steeped in fiscal policy because of his experience on the House Ways and Means and budget committees, and currently as a Senate appropriator.   Learn more about your ad choices.
