"The online environment offers new ground for harassment both in scale and impact. Unless legislators (and society) start to treat these offenses more seriously, tech will be weaponized against women.”

Die KI Industrie (bzw. deren Bosse) schafft es Regulierung zu verteufeln als Innovationsbremse usw.
Sandra Wachter hat Recht mit ihrem Einwand: bei anderen Technikbereichen (zB Verkehr) sind sich alle einig, dass Regulierungen und Standards für Sicherheit und Vertrauen sorgen.
KI braucht Regeln.

Synthetic data is best used as a supporting tool rather than a replacement for real data. The expectation that synthetic data can fill every blind spot or fix every inadequacy of real data is fantastical. my interview ACM Comms & Samuel Greengard cacm.acm.org/news/ai-goes...

🤖 KI ist eine Blackbox – aber @swachter.bsky.social hter.bsky.social bringt Licht ins Dunkel.
Im Podcast „Die Boss“ erklärt die Humboldt-Professorin, warum der Begriff „Künstliche Intelligenz“ irreführend ist und wo sie Chancen und Risiken aktueller Modelle sieht.

My interview on AI regulation, how regulation DOES NOT stifle innovation, who should be liable if these systems fail, if we should use GenAI in schools and unis, how to tackle AI bias, opacity, hallucinations, the carbon footprint and the myth of AGI tinyurl.com/uea5x3vm

"The market has failed to regulate itself. This is the tech we get when hard regulation does not exist" said @swachter.bsky.social @oii.ox.ac.uk@socsci.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk on the need for tighter regulation in light of recent sexualised Grok images. Read the full article: bit.ly/4qOgjQc

“Its devastating that tech firms feel comfortable to release tech that allows the non-consensual undressing of women & children. These are actions of people who do not fear consequences anymore. This is the tech we get when hard regulation does not exist” tinyurl.com/yc72kx66

I find it dystopian to claim the era of traditional photography is “over.”It basically says“why capture real genuine human moments if you could just generate them on your computer? I am not sure why we should celebrate the death of art & artists & see this as a sign of progress tinyurl.com/2s4e6ede

GenAI is extremely prone to hallucinate. If people use LLMs to ask questions they don’t know the answer to, how would they be able to spot a mistake? And now think what can happen if we implement these systems in areas where truth and detail matter e.g. investment decisions, stock market or medicine
⚠️ AI is seen by many as a promise of salvation for humanity. But what if this technology of the future hides authoritarian fantasies of power behind its shiny facade? Join this keynote by Rainer Mühlhoff (Uni Osnabrück) 👉 Register now: buff.ly/DNNizzn

Do large language models have a legal duty to tell the truth? lnkd.in/ejqW4nnB
To protect science, we must use LLMs as zero-shot translators lnkd.in/etZRbSh5
Super excited to see my work on GenAI & subtle hallucinations or what we coin “careless speech” cited in @coe.int report. We need to think about the cumulative, long-term risks of “careless speech” to science, education, media & shared social truth in democratic societies.

So that's teaching wrapped up for another year, next class start of March. Marking then writing then Kenya then writing... Will the bubble burst while I am drafting?
