📣 The AI Now 2018 Report is now live! 📣

Our biggest ever report tackles the issues of AI and accountability, after a hell of a year for the tech sector. Read the report, see our 10 recommendations ainowinstitute.org/AI_Now_2018_Re…
We're calling for regulation of AI, and in particular - facial and affect recognition
And - this is a BIG one - all tech vendors should waive corporate secrecy laws that are preventing accountability and due process in the public sector. Black box systems have no place in government.
Final one I'll mention is super relevant for #NeurIPS2018: we need to ask bigger questions about fairness to include the full stack supply chain. That's the total labor, data, and environmental impact of an AI system 🤖🌲👷‍♀️
Lastly, this report is a 6 month effort by 12 researchers. It's a privilege to work alongside this team: @mer__edith @roeldobbe @genmaicha____ @ekaziunas @VaroonMathur @sarahbmyers Rashida Richardson @Lawgeek @scarschwartz @AlexCampolo @GretchenMarina ⚡️🙏⚡️

Whoa... looks like our Anatomy of AI research spawned some viral news. A bunch of stories focused on the ‘worker cage’ patent. So here’s some context:
The Amazon cage thing is not new. The patent was filed in 2013, granted in ‘16. We dug it up in our research on all the patents that went into the Amazon Echo. You can search them too – USPTO has 'em on a public site. Here’s the cage patent:
pdfpiw.uspto.gov/.piw?Docid=092…
The worker cage never got made. Instead, Amazon execs say they decided to make employees wear vests covered in sensors so they don’t get run over by robots. Ohhhhkay...

THREAD on biz, human rights and tech. 1/ On this 70th anniversary of the UDHR’s adoption by UNGA, connecting dots from UDHR to tech today. UDHR-> ICCPR-> UNGPs-> GNI Principles-> #tech company human rights commitments, infrastructure, and decisions. #UDHR: un.org/en/universal-d…
2/ UDHR is unique in modern int'l political system (post-1648) b/c rights declared inherent in all people based on human dignity, not derived from god, a king or the state. For provisions that we relate to the tech sector today, see Articles 12 (privacy) and 19 (free expression).
3/ In the ICCPR, as one of the UDHR's implementing treaties, see Articles 17 (privacy) and 19 (free expression), which we similarly relate to the tech sector today. #ICCPR: ohchr.org/EN/Professiona…

THREAD: There’s lots of talks about artificial intelligence and ethics these days — how to come up with principles for the use of #AI, whether there should be binding laws regulating it or whether broader guidelines could be enough etc pp.
2/ I’d like to point you to an — overlooked, as often — academic paper that came out earlier this month. There’s lots of op-eds and papers written on the topic. No one has the time to read them all (and to be frank, many aren’t worth it.) This one’s different:
3/ The paper’s titled “Constitutional democracy and technology in the age of artificial intelligence” and it’s written by @PaulNemitz , a high-ranking European Commission official who was one of the architects behind Europe’s sweeping privacy law, the GDPR papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

If you have an interest in #AI, #HealthTech or #PatientSafety - then please read this evidence based thread which tells the story of @DrMurphy11 & an #eHealth #AI #Chatbot.

Read on, or see single tweet summary here👇0/44
is not a 'nerd'; he's a pretty typical NHS consultant with an interest in #PatientSafety.

On 6th Jan 2017 a tweet about an #eHealth #AI #Chatbot in #NHS trials caught his attention, so he thought he'd take a look. 1/44

Evidence here 👇
Dr Murphy downloaded the @babylonhealth App & tried the #Chatbot with a few simple clinical presentations. It quickly became apparent that the #Chatbot had flaws, raising the question if the App had been validated as a triage tool?

As evidenced by👇 2/44

Today, @NITIAayog released a Discussion Paper titled ‘National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence”. #AIforAll
niti.gov.in/writereaddata/…
We provide our initial thoughts on the paper here. 1/n
We welcome this initiative by @NITIAayog, but a call for comments would have been a welcome addition. The paper takes important steps forward from the #AI Task Force report released earlier this year by the DIPP, Ministry of Commerce and Industry (dipp.nic.in/sites/default/…). 2/n
This paper attempts a more holistic look at a broader range of issues concerning AI including #regulation, #ethics, #fairness, #transparency and #accountability. However, a number of issues still remain with this paper. 3/n
