The chapter is co-authored by me, Elizabeth Williams and Kehinde Aruleba.
The book is a rich, crucial, and timely resource for every AI stakeholder; especially those working on AI safety, trustworthiness, accountability, ethics, and regulation. Book link: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...
I am excited to share that as part of the book 'Trustworthy AI: African Perspectives', we discussed AI safety issues from a Nigerian & African perspective in a chapter titled 'Exploring Trustworthy AI in Nigeria: A Focus on Safety in Road Traffic'

Billboard that says “you are not stuck in traffic. You are traffic.”
Our regular reminder that when we’re driving, we’re not stuck in traffic.
We ARE traffic.
That’s a product of our individual choices, as well as our collective choices that we have a say in, including who we choose to give massive city-building powers to and the choices they make with that power.
dear god! these people are going to destroy us all

Thank you! Yours too 😊
Meta is making big changes to hiring practices, sources told me and @mikeisaac.bsky.social
- no more teams devoted to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
- no diversity preference for working with outside minority owned supplier businesses
- no goals for hiring women and minorities
Hahahaha
I can relate! I am Einstein right now 😂
researchers studying non human animal cognition get laughed out of science if they use a word like “knows” or “understands” about an animal (a being with a brain) but every AI paper is all “the model appears to be aware it is being intentionally deceptive and in fact is afraid of being caught”
DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 2, 1949 Dr. Norbert Wiener Mass. Institute of Technology Cambridge, Nass. My dear Dr. Wiener: The publication of your book on Cybernetics has caused the editorial staff which is in charge of the revision of the Dewey Decimal Classification considerable difficulty. We are in the position of being asked by sincere inquirers as to how to classify the book and by less sincere people who like to confront supposedly expert classifiers with problems which they are quite certain are beyond our capabilities. Quite frankly, cybernetics is. We have read and reread reviews and explanations of the content of your book and have even tried to understand the book itself, only to become more uncertain as to what field it falls into. I am appealing to you as the one person who should be able to tell us. Possibly you already know that the Dewey Decimal Classification attempts to assign a number to the subject content of books. Generally speaking, a book can only be assigned one number and consequently we cannot take care of the many aspects that certain works cover. The problem must be simplified and consequently, is your book such as to place it in psychology? Does it belong in the field of electronic computation devices or does it belong in mathematics? If we were not somewhat desperate about this particular problem, I should hesitate to bother you with it. Cordially yours, Esther P. Potter Director

I thoroughly enjoyed this session! It was so fun to offer helpful ideas and get helped too, without judgements!

Privileged to have Mike Dinn, who was in the room when the first footage of the Moon Walk was captured by the Honeysuckle Creek telescope. And thanks to Glenn from NASA
I am collecting examples of the most thoughtful writing about generative AI published in 2024. What’s yours? They can be insightful for commentary, smart critique, or just because it shifted the conversation. I’ll post some of mine below as I go through them. #criticalAI

I created a starter pack for human-AI collaboration in case that this would be helpful for some newcomers, which overlaps with several existing starter packs. Let me know if you would like to be added.
