Per AxbomGenerative AI can not generate its way out of prejudice<br><br>The concept of "generative" suggests that the tool can produce what it is asked to produce. In a study uncovering how stereotypical global health tropes are embedded in AI image generators, researchers found it challenging to generate images of Black doctors treating white children. They used Midjourney, a tool that after hundreds of attempts would not generate an output matching the prompt. I tried their experiment with Stable Diffusion's free web version and found it every bit as concerning as you might imagine.<br><br><a href="https://axbom.com/generative-prejudice/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://axbom.com/generative-prejudice/</a><br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://axbom.me/tag/aiethics" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AIEthics</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://axbom.me/tag/digitalethics" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalEthics</a>

Per AxbomRemember when AI was used to generate a George Carlin comedy routine? That didn’t happen. Generative AI isn’t that good.<br><br>After the George Carlin’s estate sued, a representative of the show admitted that it was human-written. The claim that it was produced by an AI trained on Carlin’s material appears to be far from the truth, and rather used as a way to garner attention.<br><br>Cory Doctorow frequently reminds us that these stories of magical AI is peddled by both boosters and critics. Critics of AI make the mistake of also assuming that AI is this good, and talk about it as bad use of AI. This unnecessarily inflates the idea that AI can do things that it really can’t, adding fuel to magical thinking.<br><br>It’s probably a good idea to more often question if AI is even in the picture, given how effective it has become as a marketing vehicle. Was there AI involved? Perhaps, but not to the extent that salespeople would have you imagine<br><br>And yes, there's a name for this kind of criticism: "criti-hype.” A term coined by Lee Vinsel.

Per AxbomPaper. Accidental Wiretaps: The Implications of False Positives By Always-Listening Devices For Privacy Law & Policy, by Lindsey Barrett and Ilaria Liccardi.<br><br>Abstract<br>Always-listening devices like smart speakers, smartphones, and other voice-activated technologies create enough privacy problems when working correctly. But these devices can also misinterpret what they hear, and thus accidentally record their surroundings without the consent of those they record, a phenomenon known as a ‘false positive.’ The privacy practices of device users add another complication: a recent study of individual privacy expectations regarding false positives by voice assistants depicts how people tend to carefully consider the privacy preferences of those closest to them when deciding whether to subject them to the risk of accidental recording, but often disregard the preferences of others. The failure of device owners to get consent from those around them is exacerbated by the accidental recordings, as it means that the companies collecting the recordings aren’t obtaining the consent to record their subjects that the Federal Wiretap Act, state wiretapping laws, and consumer protection laws require, as well as contravening the stringent privacy assurances that these companies generally provide. The laws governing surreptitious recordings also frequently rely on individual and societal expectations of privacy, which are warped by the justifiable resignation to privacy invasions that most people eventually acquire.<br><br>The result is a legal regime ill-adapted to always-listening devices, with companies frequently violating wiretapping and consumer protection laws, regulators failing to enforce them, and widespread privacy violations. Ubiquitous, accidental wiretaps in our homes, workplaces, and schools are just one more example of why consent-centric approaches cannot sufficiently protect our privacy, and policymakers must learn from those failures rather than doubling down on a failed model of privacy governance.<br><br><a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3781867" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3781867</a><br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://axbom.me/tag/digitalethics" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalEthics</a>
