Very happy to share this essay, which is temporarily in front of the paywall. "We need to defend the analog world. If we let virtual reality proliferate without limits, #surveillance will be equally limitless. " #privacy @HertfordCollege @TORCHOxford @EthicsInAI @OxHumanities

1/ Last week, the White House announced that it had secured “voluntary commitments” (i.e. pinky promises) from 7 leading AI companies to better manage #AI risks. Here’s why voluntary commitments are not enough, and what we can learn from how we regulated the car industry 🧵👇 Image
2/ Although #AI looks shiny and new, much of what is happening with the AI industry, we’ve seen before. Regulating cars was surprisingly hard. Not because cars are particularly mysterious, but because good governance, and using democracy to limit power, is hard
3/ There are at least 5 lessons we can learn from having regulated cars. 1. Don't believe narratives that blame customers, citizens, or users. For decades, car companies shielded behind the explanation that reckless drivers were the sole culprits of car accidents. Sound familiar?

1/ If Socrates was indeed the wisest Greek, that makes large language models like #ChatGPT the most foolish systems in our societies. Here's why 🧵👇 #AIEthics
2/ In Plato's "Apology", Socrates and his friend Chaerephon go to visit the oracle at Delphi. Chaerephon asks the oracle whether there is anyone wiser than Socrates. The oracle responds that there isn't: Socrates is the wisest of them all.
3/ At first, Socrates is puzzled. How could he be the wisest, when there were so many other people in the community who were well known for their knowledge and wisdom, and yet Socrates claims that he lacks knowledge and wisdom. (Yoda would've been confused too)

Russell Group, which is made up of 24 leading #universities including Oxford and Cambridge, has announced that students will be allowed to use generative AI. Here's what you need to know 🧵👇 1/ #AIEthics
#ChatGPT took universities by surprise. And the first, knee-jerk reaction, was panic. How are we going to assess students if they might be using AI to write their essays? Worse still, ChatGPT could write better essays than some students. 2/
One option was to ban the use of generative AI. But how are we going to police that? Tools that identify text produced by #AI are not reliable enough, and it's easy to trick them by lightly editing a text that was mostly created by generative AI. 3/

Very happy to share that The Oxford Handbook of Digital Ethics is now finished and will be out in the next few months! Some of it is already published online. If you're interested in #DigitalEthics, #AIEthics, #ethics, #privacy, #AI, #philosophy, this one is for you... 🧵👇 Image
In this chapter, @SvenNyholm relates the new area of the ethics of human–#robot interaction to traditional ethical theories such as #utilitarianism, Kantian #ethics, and virtue ethics. #AIEthics

In this chapter, Emily Sullivan and Mark Alfano (@moral_psych) develop a normative epistemic framework for sharing information online. They argue recent technological developments call for a rethinking of the norms of testimony. #epistemology

Yesterday, the Taskforce on Innovation, Growth and Regulatory Reform published a report outlining their vision to “refresh the #UK’s approach to regulation now that we have left the EU”. A thread on the life of #privacy post-#Brexit. (Trigger warning: it doesn't look good). 👇 1/
The report emphasises "#consumer #data" as "highly profitable." Something to note: the report mentions "#consumers" 52 times while mentioning "#citizens" 11 times. 2/

It then describes the #GDPR as inflexible and onerous: "In a survey by DataGrail 49% of business decision makers reported spending over 10 working days a year just to sustain GDPR compliance, with 12% spending over 30 working days a year" 3/

Some thoughts about #Apple's latest #WWDC21 and #privacy. A thread 👇
The good:

There's no question that Apple has brought some exciting new features for privacy lately. The possibility for users to block some #data collection, one's #email blocking trackers, the chance to use email aliases for interactions with companies...
#Safari hiding internet traffic from your internet service provider... all fantastic, and hugely important.

Apple is showing that #privacy is a competitive advantage. And their #security is much better than that of competitors

But before we get too complacent...
