Picking up on potentially useful alternatives approaches @karenhao.bsky.social reports on how AI researchers worked with community consent and agency to build a tiny specific model for Te Reo in New Zealand; including guardianship of the data long term. #EmpireofAI

We’ve just had a hilarious and disturbing story from #EmpireofAI where a senior AI leader burns an effigy of a bad AI. @karenhao.bsky.social

Kudos to Naima Vahab for presenting her PhD research at "Storytelling for Impactful Research (STIR) Competition " at RMIT STEM College. What an amazing opportunity for polishing your #scicomm skills and knowledge sharing across STEM disciplines.

Kobi and @karenhao.bsky.social discuss the problems of image training specifically. Kobi brings up the problem of narcissism.

Kobi Leins notes that the book reports that removing explicit material from the training data led to a drop in performance; that this revealed ethical and bias problems with the data chosen for training @karenhao.bsky.social #EmpireofAI

Following on from the issue of gender ; the staff who prepare the data on which AI is trained are treated to standards far below human rights expectations. This crosses the global south @karenhao.bsky.social #EmpireofAI

Reflecting on the impact of gender; @karenhao.bsky.social points out the many technologies don’t work for women ; and AI businesses have fired teams of women brought in to help reduce bias. #EmpireofAI

Kobi Leins points out the lack of concrete evidence to support the hyperbolic claims for AI boosts to productivity @karenhao.bsky.social #EmpireofAI

Moving on @karenhao argues that big tech too often demands the public serves it; not that it (profitably) serves them.

Thanks to the hundreds of people who have turned up to @karenhao.bsky.social ‘s talk this evening. Also to our RMIT colleagues in the Social Change EIP and the Business and Human Rights Centre.

@karenhao.bsky.social moves on to pointing out the lack of true general purpose AI and the vast consumption of resources needed for marginal improvement. #EmpireofAI

Now @karenhao.bsky.social is in conversation with Kobi Leins ; she starts on the links between AI empires and methods of colonialism.

This is absolutely BRILLIANT.

The Finnish gov knows that educating its kids to critically think so they can understand the concept of actual fake news will protect its democracy.

The Aust gov needs to consider adding this type of leaning to the Aus curriculum.
