what are the most catastrophic consequences of algorithmic decision making gone wrong (like wrongful arrests, people denied social welfare benefits, ... ) ?

German Constitutional Court strikes down predictive policing algorithms. See lnkd.in/eDRM3krK. The Constitutional Court declared the use of Palantir surveillance software by police in Hesse and Hamburg unconstitutional. Here's the decision: lnkd.in/e4nmbVjh.

Es ist jetzt 5 vor 12! Es geht um Leben und Tod für meinen Papa! Ich bitte alle darum so laut wie möglich zu sein und meinem Papa zur Seite zu stehen! Das Auswärtiges Amt @ABaerbock muss endlich klaren Druck ausüben bevor Blut fließt! #SaveSharmahd

The EU’s “chat control” legislation is the most alarming proposal I’ve ever read. Taken in context, it is essentially a design for the most powerful text and image-based mass surveillance system the free world has ever seen.

Yeah, not surprised in the least. They are willfully ignoring the most basic risk mitigation strategies, all while proclaiming themselves to be working towards the benefit of humanity. #OpenAI #DataDocumentation

Roko's* five stages of AI grief: 1. Denial: "there is no bias in AI systems. Math is not racist." I feel like we have largely moved on from this stage, thanks to all the reporting we've had over the years. * the basilisk will always be with you

Join us at our next meetup were we will explore how #ChatGPT and #Midjourney were used to create a virtual fashion brand, and provide a closer look at how #narratives about the inevitability of technological progress shapes public discourse. meetup.com/de-DE/social-d…

Yes!! I'm so angry about these hype narratives around generative AI, can't remember the last time I felt this way for weeks on end. You can listen to my spite-fueled talk on this topic next week meetup.com/de-DE/social-d…

Excited to be speaking about AI narratives & realities at today's Social Developers Club 📍Hamburg meetup! If you can't make it in person you can check out the live stream at 6:30 PM CET ⬇️ youtube.com/live/f48jXFTdt…

Finally, Members of European Parliament are voting on the #AIAct this week. We desperately need transparency about the context in which #algorithms are used to understand how they impact us. We urge MEPs to vote YES to more stringent transparency obligations in the upcoming vote. ✊

The European Union has just agreed on a Compromise Text for its EU AI Act. The EU AI Act will set the global standard for how AI systems must be built. Think of it as the GDPR for AI. I'm going through the text to highlight important changes... 🧵 1/n

Hi twitter friends, currently looking for part-time freelance projects as creative or front-end dev. If you have any leads for the upcoming months, lmk. Shaders and WebGL would be 🖤 but also JS and CSS is ✨ I care about web semantics, performance, and a11y 🪷

🚨Generative AI has a serious problem with bias🚨 Over months of reporting, Dina Bass and I looked at thousands of images from Stable Diffusion and found that text-to-image AI takes gender and racial stereotypes to extremes worse than in the real world. 🧵 1/13

Among most compelling sessions at ACM FAccT was a talk w Alex Hanna (اليكس حنٌا) & Amazon MTurk workers including Krystal Kauffman - the frontline workers of data ghostwork for training & building AI systems. Some thoughts that arose through that talk & a subsequent discussion I had w them:

World, meet Alex, Bill, and Mophat, three workers whose labor was essential to filtering violence and abuse out of ChatGPT. For the first time they’re ready to tell you who they are—and how the work unraveled their lives and their families. wsj.com/podcasts/the-j…
