What really needs to be banned are social media algorithms. This is just telling kids they can't have digital crack cocaine until they're 16.

Trustworthy AI This book will appeal to the wider AI developers community, civil society, policymakers, ICT and the RRI community.

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...

Billboard that says β€œyou are not stuck in traffic. You are traffic.”

Billboard that says β€œyou 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.

Arrested by AI: Police ignore standards after facial recognition matches Confident in unproven facial recognition technology, sometimes investigators skip steps; at least eight Americans have been wrongfully arrested.

Important deep dive into cops' "outrageously dystopian" use of facial recognition by @douglasmac.bsky.social @davidovalle.bsky.social @aaronschaffer.com.

A wrongfully arrested father of four was jailed for *16 months* before his charges were dropped: www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

researchers studying non human animal cognition get laughed out of science if they use a word like β€œknows” or β€œunderstands” about an animal (a being with a brain) but every AI paper is all β€œthe 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
