Nina Miolane amplified a co-authored essay arguing interpretability is the most important scientific problem of our lifetime but progresses too slowly — and that if any science should be revolutionized by AI, it's interpretability itself. The piece proposes a large-scale effort akin to a Human Genome Project for AI. She also announced she'll be joining interpretability startup Goodfire AI after her PhD.
