'emotion-recognition AI systems in the workplace are to be banned yet allowed for safety reasons—where does safety begin and end, and will workers have a real say?' socialeurope.eu/the-ai-act-der…

It is one thing when little CAs act like the rules do not matter it is another when the large well-funded CAs like Entrust do. bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?i…

Wow - this picture says it all. The EU's #AIAct does not go far enough to curb mass surveillance in public spaces. Instead, it allows many forms of surveillance and profiling that treat human beings as walking barcodes.

The SaTML schedule is now public! Featuring sessions on privacy, fairness, robustness, collaborative learning, forensic analysis, and more! Not to mention keynotes by Somesh Jha & Deb Raji, and tutorials by Yves-A. de Montjoye & one more.

Check it out now: satml.org/schedule/
