In "AI we could have had" - a six-page spread in tomorrow's FT Weekend - I argue that there used to be another, more humane way to think about intelligence, interactivity, smartness. Sadly, we blew it! An essay inspired by A SENSE OF REBELLION: ft.com/content/c63dae2b-b0d5…

ALT New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."
Beware "a false narrative that as long as we can get the technology right, if we can "fix" it, using that technology will be alright. This is a misconception: we are not going to undo centuries of structural oppression by tweaking a few datasets." 👇

No tech smarts needed, just interest in our themes. Deadline/eligibility etc: lithme.eu/conference2024. Go go!
Chloe Patman, our STSM grantee, commenting on her experience:
I would recommend STSM 100%. The flexibility in terms of states, institutions and supervisors allows you to pick a place and person with very specific interests and what you want to look at.👇

Important cautions on the risk of overestimating the capabilities of new and emerging language technologies.
In reality, they are just sophisticated forms of autocomplete, drawing on huge databases to make shrewd (but reliably fallible) guesses about which word comes next:
