Pew research: Grifters more optimistic about grift than the general public being unwillingly grifted. "For example, the #AI experts we surveyed are far more likely than Americans overall to believe AI will have a very or somewhat positive impact on the United States over the next 20 years (56% vs. 17%).

And while 47% of experts surveyed say they are more excited than concerned...that share drops to 11% among the public."

I told the AI to mock me in every response.

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.

The most pressing question is thus: is this more Star Trek or Star Wars? And as it evolves will it lean more Data/C3PO or Borg/Vader? Let's just hope it doesn't self name as Skynet when it becomes self aware. Regardless, I still think it's cool. #ai #aiethics #starwars #startrek

A surprising Stanford study concludes AI-assisted writing tends to be highest in less-educated areas. Is that bridging gaps or creating dependence? Gaining opportunities or losing skills?

AI startups are like toddlers learning to walk: wobbly, overconfident, and constantly bumping into ethics they don’t understand. Except these toddlers have billions in VC funding and your data. #AIethics #futuretech

As we wrap up Black History Month this week we are highlighting the work of Dr. Timnit Gebru. Timnit's journey, from her academic roots to her current role as an advocate for ethical AI, exemplifies how quality in technology goes beyond technical functionality or performance.

What lessons from Timnit’s journey can guide us in building a more inclusive and responsible tech future?
