It's dangerous to divert to an alarmist future-oriented narrative about AI as it diverts attention from the political and ethical choices made now and that have an immediate impact (e.g. the use of fresh water for the AI datacenters) #AIethics
Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority. And Europe should lead the way, building a new global AI framework built on three pillars: guardrails, governance and guiding innovation ↓

“I was having contractions in the holding cell. My back was sending me sharp pains. I was having spasms. I think I was probably having a panic attack,” said Ms. Woodruff, a licensed aesthetician and nursing school student. “I was hurting, sitting on those concrete benches.” nytimes.com/2023/08/06/techn…

Omdat DUO alleen ‘aannemelijk’ hoeft te maken dat een student niet uitwonend is, worden veel studenten onterecht aangemerkt als ‘fraudeur’. Maar onze motie waarin we vragen dit te verbeteren is verworpen.🤷🏼‍♀️ Triest dat rechtse partijen zo weinig leren van de toeslagenaffaire…

OpenAI nicely illustrates the very thin conception of democracy that tends to accompany calls from the tech industry to democratise AI. Democracy is more than majority rule or direct deliberation and AI is not isolated from existing democratic practices. openai.com/blog/democratic-i…

It almost seems like an attempt to find alternatives to circumvent the 'pesky' democratic practices in the EU around new AI regulations.

Vandaag ontvingen we het signaleringsrapport van de Inspectie over de jeugdbescherming. ⚠️ Ik waarschuw maar alvast: het document is één grote ellende. Draadje met de meest verontrustende conclusies. Want we mogen dit nooit normaal gaan vinden(!) 🧵/1 igj.nl/actueel/nieuws/2023/0…
