Some political & legal observations on what I think is the most important European Commission enforcement action to date under the Digital Services Act, against Meta for failing to take effective measures to prevent the spreading of (Russian) disinformation on their platforms 👇
The TESCREAL bundle: Eugenics and the promise of utopia through artificial general intelligence by Timnit Gebru (@timnitGebru) & Émile P. Torres (@xriskology) is a must read! 🧵The amount of second-wave eugenic rhetoric right under all of our noses via AGI + AI Hype framing is…
BREAKING—@Google has engaged in retaliation against 20+ additional workers, including non-participating bystanders at last week’s historic sit-ins, bringing the total to ***50 workers***that Google has shamefully retaliated against.

Google is terrified of us. @Google is terrified of workers calling for accountability and transparency from our bosses. These mass, illegal firings will not stop us. They only fuel the organic growth of this movement. #NimbusNine #GoogleworkersFired

Kate is incredible and has tirelessly carried Google's child safety work since joining. This is not only a blatantly illegal firing of a worker protesting unjust policies, it's also an enormous loss that makes their products less safe for kids. Disgusting behaviour from Google.

5 - All of this will harm racialised groups and migrants first, but will hurt us all eventually. Do we want more surveillance tech, more police, more border guards? Or do we want the resources for everyone to thrive? accessnow.org/press-release/…
🧵1 - The EU has (finally) passed the EU #AIAct After four long years of negotiations, many will celebrate. But this text does NOT equally protect the rights of everyone facing dangerous surveillance tech #ProtectNotSurveil outlines why the law fails migrants + racial justice

📢 This project spotlights market-shaping policies that get left out of the highly charged AI boom-or-doom regulatory debate. Industrial policy is technocratic terrain, insulated from politics on-the-ground. But these moves make claims to the public good *and* public $$ (1/3)

Frances Haugen: "Age of focusing on content moderation for safety on social media platforms is over" -- in era of adversarial AI, and where we have "abdicated control" of what we see online to algorithms.

‼️Breaking‼️ @AmazonEurope is to be banned from the @EUparliament after weeks of pressure from MEPs, unions and NGOs. This is an important signal that Amazon's disregard for democratic scrutiny won't be tolerated. #MakeAmazonPay
so i just came across a report that claims to have evaluated FRT for law enforcement and conclude that it's all good and "equitable" and ofc, i immediately looked into who is funding it...🤷🏾♀️
NEW: Do we need “public AI” ? It depends on what we mean by public and whose interests this will serve. In this essay @ForeignPolicy, we scrutinize the National AI Research Resource, the latest in a global wave of industrial policies for AI: foreignpolicy.com/2024/02/12/ai-…
I pray this #PMQs is a wake up call for certain politicians and pundits: that their transphobic jibes and headlines are wrong *everyday*. It shouldn’t take the murder of a trans child, or the presence of her mother, to remind them that culture wars have real life consequences.
🚨Publication alert🚨 Based on the work of @KerenWeitzberg and @RoyaPak, and countless incredible migrants' and digital rights organisations, @amnesty has published our 'primer' on Defending the Rights of refugees and Migrants in the Digital Age, today. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
This is just another play in the sick game that keeps a few thousand homeless refugees on the front pages, which is good for Rishi & good for Piers. It isn't any good for those of us who need politicians pressured to build social housing, fix the NHS & invest in our communities.
In recent decades, the size of a handful of mega-corporations has soared to extreme levels, as markets have become ever more concentrated, and the private power of the few is increasingly used to dictate how our economies operate. Download full report ➡️ somo.nl/taken-not-earn…
Just read the Lina Khan hit piece by Ankush Khardori at @NYMag. Criticizing the FTC is fair game, but violation of basic duties of journalism is not. In this case the major derelictions are (1) failing to mention this FTC's major successes (1/3)
Great overview of what the #AIAct means for regulating Aritificial Intelligence globally with quote from @AmnestyTech @armhak2003 Our key points below👇🏾 apnews.com/article/eu-ai-…
Harvard claims that they own my life’s work. So much that they were willing to lie to the public about the origin of the FB Archive project. If they admit that I started it then they have to admit the project was taken from me and my progress was stopped.
The UK Competition authority is now (at last) investigating Microsoft's acquisition(?) of Open AI. Microsoft and Amazon says their mega investment in AI firms Open AI and Anthropic are "non-ownership" deals. But that may not be the full story.

Really great engineers don’t make wasteful, underwhelming products like generative AI; they design chips and systems that work in space for 46 years before failing … and can still be fixed when they are 15 BILLION miles away.
Amazing that a chip bricked in 46-yr-old Voyager I, preventing it from sending data, and NASA figured out how to split up and reallocate its functions to other hardware, sending code 15 billion miles away (45 hours round trip!)--and Voyager's back online. blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024/0…

Why release this during an election year? What evidence of social utility does this have when the risks are so obvious? This is why we need regulation that *prevents* these kind of unethical, high risk products with no proven efficacy or safeguards in place from being released.
Microsoft just introduced VASA-1. It's a new AI model that can turn 1 photo and 1 piece of audio into a fully lifelike human deepfake. Wild to drop this right before the election 😬
Yet it took this long for the UN Sec Council to adopt a resolution calling for a ceasefire, one that isn’t even permanent and which the US erroneously and irresponsibly asserted is not binding. We should all be ashamed and horrified by our collective failure to stop this. #Gaza

1/ A belated professional update: After 5 years at @hrw, I have moved on to (re)join the @BrennanCenter, where I will help expand its work on AI research and policy. More to come on that front, but a few reflections from my time at @hrw:
Some good news from Poland: Panoptykon won the court case against Facebook for unjustified removal of accounts of a Polish harm reduction CSO. More about the case: panoptykon.org/sinvsfacebook/…

The EU AI Act is a failure for human rights, a victory for industry and law enforcement. The next fight is to make this the floor not the ceiling. Read @accessnow's @djleufer @CaterinaRodelli statement accessnow.org/press-release/…
🚨The #AIAct is adopted today. EU policymakers are hailing the AI rulebook as a global paragon for AI regulation, but the legislation fails to take basic human rights principles on board. Countries outside of the EU should learn from the bloc’s failure. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
The EP approved the #AIAct today. Let's be clear: it has severe shortcomings from the point of view of fundamental rights and should not be treated as a golden standard for rights-based AI regulation. Having said that, we will work on the strongest possible implementation.
Parliament has approved the Artificial Intelligence Act that aims to ensure safety and compliance with fundamental rights, while boosting innovation. Find out more: europa.eu/!wDmRcF
Delighted to have contributed an essay to this fantastic @AINowInstitute compendium taking a critical look at the growing prominence of AI in global industrial policies, including the risk of ideological and financial capture by powerful corporate interests.
AI industrial policies increasingly shape the relationship of govts to the AI industry, committing public $ to R&D and procurement. Today, we publish “AI Nationalism(s)”: an essay collection surveying this consequential wave of global policymaking: ainowinstitute.org/ai-nationalisms 1/🧵
Yet another independent startup sucked into Big Tech's gravitational field - this time French AI darling Mistral. Until we create alternative pathways for startups to access computing power and commercialise their products, this will keep happening. ft.com/content/cd6eb5…
This pretty much settles the entire #CSAM debate in the EU! The courts is very clear that #encryption is important for safeguarding human rights - pretty much what civil society has been arguing all along! techradar.com/computing/cybe… @mer__edith
It's apparently "hot-takes-on-AI-and-anti-competition-efforts" season, so here are some contributions. As a bonus you get me synopsizing by way of culturally stereotyping implied policy approaches:
My thoughts on @techpolicypress on #AI challenges to antitrust agencies - facing a repeat of the playbook that turned today’s tech giants into entrenched unmoveable objects. #AI_act is not focused on market power, what gives? (yes DMA…but…) techpolicy.press/the-global-ai-…
Had the absolute honour to work on new @hrw Mariupol report with @mariamposts @ida_sawyer @samdubberley & others. Grateful to all brave people we interviewed. Many of us have stopped believing in justice but I'm certain this will bring us closer to it. hrw.org/feature/russia…
