"AI works like a singer in a heterophonic choir, listening to where the tune is going, calculating which way it will go next, and checking to see if it was right or not. In this process, there is difference, form, fluctuation of constraint, expectation, and relation. "

@michelacozza nice quote,something to ponder. I am afraid that many times, many people forget about their responsibilities, indeed they try hard to avoid them or deny them
How can we protect children from algorithmic unfairness in education? How can their perspectives be amplified? The purpose of this roundtable is to discuss the effects of machine learning in education that affects the most vulnerable members of our society. We invite academics and practitioners to discuss how to support the fair use of artificial intelligence in education, which goes beyond technological solutions by including social and cultural solutions in the design process.
We will discuss this topic at the next WASP-HS Community Reference Meetings (CRMs), a meeting place for Swedish private and public organisations and WASP-HS researchers.

Google’s metastasized over-aminification has wasted the creative power and drive for way too many talented young people, and has made the entire tech scene less innovative and less productive through lack of meaningful competition. 2/

"Instead of a full-blown AI winter, we are likely to see a drop in funding for longer-term AI research and more pressure to make money using the technology, says Wooldridge."

If you are writing about "neutral" platform ranking or discussing the benefits of chronological order, may I recommend the "Getting rid of amplification" section of my piece here: https://knightcolumbia.org/content/amplification-and-its-discontents
Especially if what you are writing is a Supreme Court brief.

Writing this with the amazing Lauren Goodlad of

“@safiyanoble warns us in Algorithms of Oppression, these platforms aren’t neutral reflections of either the world as it is or how people talk about the world, but rather shaped by various corporate interests. It is urgent that we as a public learn to conceptualize the workings of information access systems...recognize that an overlay of apparent fluency does not…entail accuracy, informational value, or trustworthiness.” -By @emilymbender & Chirag Shah

So much for my impending Twitter career move.

And the coup de grace: Twitter workers who sign the agreement promise nondisparagement: they may not say anything negative about Twitter, nor its management, nor Elon.
EVER.
FOR LIFE.
No wonder so many folks are reaching out to me about rejecting this and filing claims.

“Misinformation is a defining issue of our time. I think it's good news that more and more people, including governments, are taking this battle against misinformation really seriously, because that's what's required.
Misinformation is killing people, it's destroying our democracy. It's leading to stigma and discrimination.”

@GaryMarcus@twitter.com @EthicsInAI@twitter.com Hi, Gary, I'm adding another worry: that #AI is exacerbating inequality.
Within countries: women & minorities are mostly excluded from development jobs, & suffer ↗️ from biased algorithms.
Between countries: #AI dev capacities in only a handful of countries.

@GaryMarcus@twitter.com It’s unfortunate that any criticism of LLMs is derided for being negative. We are repeating the same mistake as “Self driving is one year away” in 2012.
I’ve seen students online asking if they should change majors since software engineers won’t exist in a couple years.
