Body worn cameras are coming to a retail store or hospital near you. Despite immense privacy & civil liberties impacts and lack of regulation re: data collection and use, employee protection will be a very important argument used to sell these systems. axon.com/resources/leveragin…
They reported they now own 19 drones, but we can expect that to grow substantially if they receive this additional budget. Here's an investigation based on FOIA'd procurement docs of what they owned as of about a year ago and capabilities of the devices redtailmedia.org/2024/04/16/…
OPB & testimony also mentioned demographics of areas where drones are often flown. Earlier @RedTailAI research shows PPB drones have been deployed where more people of color live and where poverty rates are higher. Here's that research: redtailmedia.org/2024/04/16/…
🧵Three concerned Portland folks testifying at yesterday's city council hearing on Portland Police Bureau's request for more drone $ and expansion of drone use rules cited @RedTailAI investigations (redtailmedia.org/2024/08/23/…).

Pondering how best to apply @proof__news's ingredients label concept (akin to datasheets for datasets/model cards for model reporting)...(proofnews.org/why-news-needs…).
In many cases, PPB’s drones have been deployed in neighborhoods where more people of color live & poverty rates are higher than in Portland as a whole. I detail one particular case in September 2023 involving four drones with advanced capabilities that paints a vivid picture.
According to @OpenAI's most recent "Governance of superintelligence" post today, we have no choice and maybe never did. "It’s inherently part of the technological path we are on," they say. openai.com/blog/governance-o…
Curious to know what @OpenAI's definition of "economically valuable work" is in its AGI definition. Valuable to whom? Would love to see what changed from earlier iterations. As @timnitGebru noted recently, their definition has been changing.

Ha! "There is a nominal fee of $2999 USD for the above-mentioned benefits offered to you and for your company." This pay-to-play "10 Most Influential Women in AI" offer from @insightssuccess magazine reminds me of the ol' "who's who in American high school students" racket.
