#RiseOfAI @Riseof_AI starts with a chatGPT piped to text-to-video keynote. @bootstrappingme says 99% of people can't spot that this is not a person. Are there stats about this? I had about 0.2 seconds of doubt, but I'm sure there's better text to speech out there now. Fabian did a great (incl. funny) job of complying with joanna-bryson.blogspot.com/2018/11/puttin… and fighting the #futureOfWork misinfo, but repeats the "#AIAct would have blocked #chatGPT" US west-coast talking point. Has someone written a takedown of that yet? #AIEthics @meerihaataja * #riseofai

"The problem is that we in the tech industry don’t like regulation. Not because we’re evil but because we know that regulation tends to make a mess of things. We like the threat of regulation and we hope that it will keep things at bay without actually requiring stupidity." 1/2 That's @zephoria zephoria.org/thoughts/archi… I assume it's why tech is panicking, because they are used to only being threatened with regulation, and they think it can't be done well, despite having water, sewage, electricity, &c. in their homes.

Moved fast, broke things, cops came.

Due to high #inequality, the party of the right is now the party of individual capital flow, not of business.

At least, those are the people calling the shots / creating the outlandish policy. 1/2

#brexit #trump #polarisation #polarization #democracy

p.dw.com/p/3mvRz Then that same #inequality drives #polarization by creating false scarcities, which produce economic threats, which make lower-risk (but lower-payoff) opportunities more attractive than others. This part of the equation is what our new paper is about.

So this is happening. I have no idea what I'm getting myself into, other than some idea of who I'm getting into it with. I'll certainly do my best to do good.

#aiethics If you want to know more about my take on ethics, you can read my Ethics of AI web page: cs.bath.ac.uk/~jjb/web/ai.ht…
Or just watch this film, which pretty much covers the gamut of AI ethics, despite being in the context of cars.
