For the third time, @FTC has forced a company to destroy algorithms built with data gathered deceptively. Here's why it's a sign that algorithmic destruction is now a standard way the FTC will penalize companies. @jevanhutson @EPICprivacy @privacyforum protocol.com/policy/ftc-algo…

ICYMI: Twitter conducted one of the largest platform audits ever (randomized trial on 58 million users) to assess "political bias" of their algorithm. In 6 of 7 countries, "the mainstream political right enjoys higher algorithmic amplification than the mainstream political left."

I am the author of this game, well much younger version of me during high school, written entirely in 6502 assembly, fitting within the 8KB RAM of the original PET. You might be able to guess my age…

"to get to human-level intelligence, you need an agent that is actively learning while being immersed in a physical and cultural environment which is strongly influencing the developmental trajectory." Interesting discussion on gradient descent and knowledge by @jcbaillie

My thoughts on the symbolic/non-symbolic AI debate @GaryMarcus @ylecun, which I think is maybe not the right question to address: link.medium.com/l2VYePjqyob

Beyond the symbolic vs non-symbolic AI debate

How can we improve and build beyond the current deep learning paradigm to move towards human-level AI?

Blockchain doesn’t create anarchy of course—it’s just another kind of paper—secure storage through redundancy, as systems engineering has recommended for decades. The problem is those who think relatively secure storage means you don’t need institutions to protect your interests.

Students often ask me: why do so many choose 5% as the threshold for significance (“alpha”)? So let me try to explain the main rationale 1/20

In 2019 I was part of a large-scale Princeton study of dark patterns that has since influenced both the academic literature and the regulatory debate. arxiv.org/pdf/1907.07032.pdf Today I want to talk about how we nearly squandered that impact because of a 2-word change.

False positives pose a real threat to the use of AI-support systems. This is especially true in Healthcare. How do false positives impact clinicians? We studied the navigation, assessment, and perception of AI-enhanced footage (false and true positives) by endoscopists. 🧵👇

Here you see a photo of extraordinary meeting of Russian Security Council on Ukraine. Who are these people? I'd argue their biographies give a good glimpse into the structure of Russian power. Let's start with the only woman here - Valentina Matvienko on he right (a short 🧵)

Whoa! I didn't know this. Computers are (or were?) legally presumed reliable in the UK! #AIA #DSA #AIEthics cc @tabithagold A simplifying legal assumption temporarily smooths operations of government, but corrupts the integrity of the society that sustains both govt & commerce.

There was a change in law (an amendment to Police & Criminal Evidence Act 1984 which came into effect in 1999) back to the common law a presumption of reliability see Steven Mason’s evidence to the HoC Justice SC [committees.parliament.uk/wri…]. Post Office lobbied this change in law🤷
