I’m at an interesting event today about #AI and the US military at the national press club ImageImageImage
Currently listening to the Co-founder of #Deepmind talking about reliability and error and AI… now the discussion is moving to implementation of ethical principles with #AI and Dr Jane Pinelis from JAIC.
Fascinating discussion- someone is asking how DOD can “measure trust” - this is interpreted as measuring ‘reliance’ - how much they can rely on technology. They also consider how human behaviour interacts ie how military use the technology, user behaviour with it. Image

Me watching people who research media systems talk about what ‘propaganda’ is.
People need to understand propaganda isn’t media bias. These are separate, different problems. There’s maybe a relationship between them, so structural issues with the media can let propaganda sneak through. But propaganda is a wholly different thing to study… if you understand
and research the media or social media or even advertising or even commercial PR or political economy of these things - you may have parts of the relevant knowledge but this isn’t the study of propaganda.

This is a fascinating insight into a rather delusional mindset “Russia cannot afford to lose, so we need a kind of a victory”: Sergey Karaganov on what Putin wants - New Statesman newstatesman.com/world/europe/u…
Some of the more delusional outtakes
So much for ‘neutrality’

Interesting sociological experience at a gun show. Conservative 2A person who took me said they were concerned how political & hostile it was, rather than focused on 2A/gun brands. Lots of 3%ers merch, some QAnon
Saw disturbing patches proudly proclaiming the wearer ‘islamophobic’ next to traditional Nazi insignia too. Oddly racially diverse people shopping though.
Most interesting stall, very few visiting it. Person I was with was more terrified than I was. Very clearly this is where you buy your real Nazi helmet if that’s what you’re in to. In any other context I’d be less disturbed at historical stuff but here this was chilling.

I am incredibly worried by how the dominant methodological paradigm is skewing focus, determining what research is enabled on influence operations and the recommendations that come from it for policymakers. No-one is funding the kind of work that's needed.
Policy decisions will be based on partial understanding of the problems and if we continue this way we will face escalating abuse of the information environment driving conflicts, climate crisis and more, we will - if we continue - reach 2024 ill-prepared and more authoritarian.
I cannot stress strongly enough - many of the policy recommendations coming from the present selective focus of research, which leaves out real understanding of the actors and how they use media for campaigns will lead to an increasingly surveillant and authoritarian response.

This is an incredible graph showing vividly the decline of #transparency in the UK which few have been taking seriously enough. Congrats to @JennaCorderoy on the illuminating report behind the must-read article below. Jenna and @openDemocracy -amazing work researching this. Image
This is a subject I care a lot about and I also have been actively pushing back on the transparency shutdown I’ve personally repeatedly encountered from the UK Government. I recently submitted to UK Inquiry into the Cabinet Office’s implementation of FOIA: emma-briant.co.uk/reports/
Stopping the shutdown of UK transparency is vital and we need to see strong commitment from the Labour Party (esp since Tony Blair is being seen as a model to follow - Blair attacked his own introduction of FOIA because it aided journalism). bbc.co.uk/blogs/opensecr…
