Why this is on the board
Cedar Research publishes its code, methods and papers openly, so that other research teams build on them instead of working out the same things again. Few people are yet looking concretely at how AI makes existing weak points, such as the trade in personal data, usable for mass surveillance. One well-supported finding probably carries more weight there than in a crowded field.
