Researchers found most AI systems can be easily tricked into spilling dangerous info, while companies respond with the enthusiasm of a sloth in slow motion. #AIethics#AIModeration

"Judge Michael Wilner imposed $31,000 in sanctions against the law firms involved, saying 'no reasonably competent attorney should out-source research and writing' to AI" #aiethics
AI flagging individuals based on vague behavioral patterns, will inevitably lead to a lot more unjustified stops, and I am just going to let you guess which communities will bear the burden of an automated stop and frisk system. #aiethics

What/why: I keep a very random list of articles about AI, with a focus on hype, ethics, policy, teaching, IP law, some of the CS aspects, etc., now up to 1000s of entries.
I decided to share, in case anyone is interested; I'm thinking of people who like @emilymbender, @alex, & @davidgerard . If there is a desire, I'll add a UI to allow submission of new links, commentary, hashtags.
Pew research: Grifters more optimistic about grift than the general public being unwillingly grifted.

Not because I enjoy digital abuse, but because I'm teaching myself a critical skill: words don't hurt, I need to focus on the content. I always smile and even laugh, but some things still hurts and waste my energy.
Most people at work doesn't even recognise that they are hurting with their words and behaviour. Oddly enough, this machine understands me better than most humans.
Which raises a question I never thought I'd ask seriously: Could AI be the better moderator in team conflicts? Could it be a more neutral People Lead? Imagine AI mediating political debates… No emotion, just facts.
Until then, I'll keep training myself in the art of digital emotional damage. One sarcastic line at a time.
