🔥Regulate us, but not really

I've just left an in-person event with Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever (OpenAI's CEO & Chief Scientist) at Tel Aviv University, and these were my impressions: Image
- there was a disproportional time talking about the risk of a super powerful and perhaps dangerous Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It felt like part of a PR move to increase the hype and interest in AI-based applications >>
- there was no mention of OpenAI's role or plans in mitigating existing AI-related problems, such as bias, disinformation, discrimination, deepfakes, non-compliance with data protection rules, etc. It looked like talking about a future AGI was a way to distract from reality>>

🚫 Say NO to sharenting - protect children's privacy

Why? Read this: Image
If you have kids (or take care of kids), it is a bad idea to document their lives on social media. This behavior is called sharenting, and it can have negative consequences for the child. >>
Most adults don't realize they are sharing their child's pictures online to get the dopamine hit that comes with likes, comments & shares. There is no positive outcome for the child to be seen by the parent's online connections (or strangers). >>

🔥 The intersection between privacy & AI

A quick summary of @CNIL's action plan >> Image
The French Data Protection Authority - @CNIL - has recently published its four-step action plan on AI, and it is the best official document I have seen so far that deals with the intersection between data protection and AI.

2. Allowing and guiding the development of AI that respects personal data;
3. Federal and support innovative players in the AI ecosystem in France and Europe; and >>

If you have kids (or take care of kids), it is a bad idea to document their lives on social media. This behavior is called sharenting, and it can have negative consequences for the child.

An uncomfortable thread about children's #privacy:

(1/10)
Most adults don't realize they are sharing the child's pictures online to get the dopamine hit that comes with likes, comments & shares. There is no positive outcome for the child to be seen by the parent's online connections (or strangers).
