A screenshot of a 'Tiny Sci-Fi Stories' format post dated 31.01.2023 with ID 'W89AZ'. The story reads 'At 3:32am last night, the Wikipedia article on Artificial Intelligence began editing itself.' Below is a distorted Wikipedia page screenshot showing the 'Artificial Intelligence' article title, with glitched text suggesting self-modification, including phrases like 'is not a threat' and 'benevolent and beneficial'.

Humor and satire with too much truth. At times, it's hard for me to read The Onion and McSweeney's. Occasionally, I do find motivation. "We made algorithms that made your society increasingly impenetrable..." is actually a call to action for digital literacy.

But we didn’t. And we take responsibility for that. We did all the boring stuff, frankly. We took over a bunch of jobs, leaving many of you very poor and an increasingly few fantastically rich. We made algorithms that made your society increasingly impenetrable to you and, under the guise of “advancement,” rigid and arbitrary. And, of course, we produced unimaginable amounts of garbage text and images, creating a media landscape that allowed increasingly angry and desperate people, including those we’d displaced, to believe pretty much whatever they wanted to and direct their anger at pretty much anyone.

The Algorithmic Awareness research centered on algorithmic literacy by studying algorithms & learning enough to offer instruction, learning modules.

It also dipped into seamful design. A search engine prototype offering explanations of algorithms in action.

Our work towards AI Literacy involves education about & making things with AI. Mike Ridley named "seamful design" - designing & making apparent when a system can be questioned or contested.

I'm continuing to think on ideas from earlier "Algorithmic Awareness" research. github.com/jasonclark/a...

No ranking in this list. I've continue to think about the literacy moment.

Witness one way to approach transparency in this transfer learning demo I created. github.com/jasonclark/i...

Note how the model is giving a percentage to suggest confidence in the predicted metadata. It is clearly failing in this prediction. This is helpful/essential for users of the technology.
Picture of Native Americans in traditional dress in front of house. Image is a screenshot also showing how a machine is trying to create metadata about what is seeing in the picture.
