If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked โ€œDisallow.โ€

The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so weโ€™ve made it easy to opt out

Research Brief: Teens, Trust, and Technology in the Age of AI In an era when artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in everyday life, teens are navigating complex challenges around trust, authenticity, and online safety.

Pleased to see Common Sense has released a report I co-authored with my former colleagues on the impact of experiences with misleading or fake online information among teens and how those experiences can diminish broader trust in online information. www.commonsensemedia.org/research/res...

Moving from something that is known and held in the body, to something that is written and distilled into words on a page is never an easy journey, but it's definitely one worth taking

In the depths of a new piece on anti-blackness in AI + Education & I have to say:

The slow & deliberate labor of untangling a theoretical knot that's been quietly guiding my work for years is both exhilarating & excruciatingly painful.

Oh my god. I had no idea:

Medicaid: 73 million low-income people are exposed to AI-related decision-making

SNAP: 42 million low-income people are exposed to AI-related decision-making

Social Security disability benefits: About 13.8 million people are exposed to AI-related decision-making

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before yโ€™all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

As AI proliferates in higher ed, we must ask how (& if) these tools - riddled w biases, rooted in carceral violence, used for surveillance more often than for learning, & reliant upon environmental destruction - can manifest the equitable futures Big Tech promises us

All this & more on Nov 15 ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ
