For those of you who do not know me, I specialize in the study of human-machine communication 🤖: people's perceptions and use of AI; the integration of AI, social robots, and related technologies into media industries; and the adoption and implications of AI in higher ed.

This is why they do it. They know it won't stick. But harassment, stress, worry, and draining of financial resources is the point. As with everything, cruelty and punishment of anyone speaking out against the regime is the goal.

I've been legally threatened for journalism in the past by a big corporation, a big city PD, & a rightwing religious org. Minor, none carried thru, nothing like ICE arrests. But all caused trouble & burned resources. None wld have held up in court. But don't underestimate how much this shit sucks.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Folks in computer science and related disciplines: I'm trying to get a general sense of how curricular guidelines developed jointly by the ACM, IEEE, and AAAI are actually used (if at all) in shaping individual degree programs in higher education. Thanks.

"The reason these aspects of our jobs have been so challenging to automate is that they rely on something even more precious than our time: namely, our capacity for scientific decision-making. It is worth considering what we lose when we cede that—and our agency—to machines."

The #1 question I received as an American living in Germany recently was "Why have Americans not learned from us?" Too many of my fellow citizens do not understand the history of the Holocaust and the rise of fascism or are willing to turn a blind eye.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

JOBS! Three post-doctoral fellowships in AI Trust and Security at the University of Manchester's Centre for Digital Trust and Society

www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...
AI Trust and Security Fellow:Oxford Road
The Faculty of Humanities has recently received a new £4.73m University investment in AI Trust and Security to drive the Faculty’s vision to be a research leader this field. The investment will help us to build an interdisciplinary research team working in the broad field of AI Trust and Security to build on our existing strengths in Digital Trust, Security and Society. At UoM, we see AI security as part of a set of broader issues of trust and trustworthiness, distrust and trust exploitation, and trust-building and resilience, and promote an interdisciplinary approach to these issues.
