This year, as we gather around tables adorned with the bounty of the season, I find myself drawn to the wisdom of Maya Angelou: “When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.” These words, like a guiding light, remind us that gratitude is not just an emotion—it is a practice, a bridge that links our hearts to others.

It includes defining AI, identifying relevant harms, designating responders, developing plans to contain the damage in the short term, carrying out a longer-term containment strategy to stop the harm from spreading further, and conducting a post-mortem review.

Meanwhile, venture capitalists looking for the next big thing might do the opposite, picking projects on which they disagree. These types of project selection quandaries are reflected in new research, which models the effectiveness of common decision methods such as voting, scoring, and ranking.
