Powerful #artificialintelligence is a "sociopath", with the ability to "trash human rights [and] attack democratic societies", writes Federal MP Julian Hill. Which is why we're right to worry about uncontrolled #generativeAI technologies. As he pens in this op-ed, "Governments must act in the public and national interest to establish guardrails and determine how and where to apply both the accelerator and the brake". And fast: https://lnkd.in/gVTGaiNX

"The focus should also shift toward analyzing human psychology, and understanding motivations, values, and morals. Rather than relying on AI to make crucial decisions about free speech, elections, or censorship, people should harness AI to better understand ourselves and our society". - one of my previous articles that I'm very fond of and is relevant for the events that we're going to witness during the rest of the year, featuring comments from Justin E. Lane and Ljubisa Bojic. https://lnkd.in/dhVya-qK

I think the relationship between humanity, culture, and government is critical to understand, and we can use AI to understand all of them, but shouldn't relinquish our most important decisions to AI, ever. When it comes to the most important issues, we need to understand issues of social cohesion and values, otherwise, democracy is just a set of laws, and we lose our north star and guiding values. #ai #democracy #values #hybridthreat

Thank you Pierce Edward Cornelius Otlhogile-Gordon, Ph.D. for sharing this insight on the importance of people in marginalized communities and people of color working together to creatively solve the problems that AI introduces to our society in ways that will create vital, healthy, and strong multiracial, multicultural communities. I am learning from these sages and others about the ins and outs of AI and how to leverage it for our world where all people and planet thrive. #responsibleai

Hefty penalties but also protections for innovation. What you need to know and consider about the EU AI Act. I recommend all companies to start preparing NOW for the changing rules in the future. Because if you don't know the rules, you will lose the game or pay dearly for it. Liked this post? Want to see more?

📢 Call for signature! The FAccT community is announcing a statement on AI harms and policy. This statement asserts our community’s years of empirical work as a resource for public discussions and policy reponses. The full statement is below. Please sign at: https://lnkd.in/evQcrbJK We, the undersigned scholars and practitioners of the Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency welcome the growing calls to develop and deploy AI in a manner that protects public interests and fundamental rights. From the dangers of inaccurate or biased algorithms that deny life-saving healthcare to language models exacerbating manipulation and misinformation, our research has long anticipated harmful impacts of AI systems of all levels of complexity and capability. This body of work also shows how to design, audit, or resist AI systems to protect democracy, social justice, and human rights. This moment calls for sound policy based on the years of research that has focused on this topic. We already have tools to help build a safer technological future, and we call on policymakers to fully deploy them. #fairness  #accountability  #transparency  #aiethics  #dataethics #algorithmicbias #ai #datascience
