What are zero-knowledge proofs? Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are an innovative cryptographic method that enables a party (the prover) to validate a claim to another (the verifier) without disclosing any detailed information about the claim itself. When the subject of a contract or transaction involves highly sensitive or confidential data, ZKPs ensure safe and private transactions while securing the subject matter of the transaction throughout the validation process by leveraging rigorous mathematical frameworks.Fundamentally, ZKPs address an important problem: How can someone prove the possession of a statement, without revealing it? Revealing the substance of a transaction is the easy part, but what…

Large language models have driven progress in machine translation, leveraging massive training corpora to translate dozens of languages and dialects while capturing subtle linguistic nuances. Yet, fine-tuning these models for translation accuracy often impairs their instruction-following and conversational skills, and broad-purpose versions struggle to meet professional fidelity standards. Balancing precise, culturally aware translations with the ability to handle code generation, problem-solving, and user-specific formatting remains challenging. Models must also preserve terminological consistency and adhere to formatting guidelines across varied audiences. Stakeholders require systems that can dynamically adapt to domain requirements and user preferences without sacrificing fluency. Benchmark scores such as…

This essay first appeared in Reboot. Credulous, breathless coverage of “AI existential risk” (abbreviated “x-risk”) has reached the mainstream. Who could have foreseen that the smallcaps onomatopoeia “ꜰᴏᴏᴍ” — both evocative of and directly derived from children’s cartoons — might show up uncritically in the New Yorker? More than ever, the public discourse about AI and its risks, and about what can or should be done about those risks, is horrendously muddled, conflating speculative future danger with real present-day harms, and, on the technical front, confusing large, “intelligence-approximating” models with algorithmic and statistical decision-making systems.What, then, are the stakes of…
