Did you know that Radical AI hosts a reading group? For this Friday, we're reading a report from @FreeTucson evaluating algorithms in pretrial detention decisions. We're excited to host TSCCBF Executive Director Lola Rainey, JD/LLM, for the discussion as well! [1/3]
TSCCBF is proud to release our first special report, "Pretrial Injustice: How the Pima County Judiciary is Using Pretrial Risk Assessments to Cage People."

To give thanks and support TSCCBF's work, we're seeking contributions. If you can pitch in, please contribute directly to tucsonbailfund.org/donate/. We recommend USD$25, or any amount that is meaningful to you. [2/3]
Details for this event and the reading group are available in the Radical AI Slack group. If you're interested in attending and you haven't joined the Slack yet, follow the instructions at radicalai.net/network - we'll be sure to get back to you before the meeting. [3/3]

Emily Denton and I are organizing this workshop. Or trying to. Emily has been doing all the work right now and you know what she’s dealing with.
We had also signed up to write a book on the subject?
Maybe the book will write itself because I haven’t been.

I see this argument all the time from tech people: Building gargantuan AI models may be computationally, environmentally, and financially costly. But if those models then go on to solve cancer, isn't that on balance better for the world?
NOOOO.
A thread.

Guess what? @mmitchell_ai’s corp access is now locked. I’m wondering if she’s going to get an email to her personal email accepting her “resignation.” I have not seen a company that has this little shame in a while.

I'm finna tell yall why @Google fired me- their MOST successful diversity recruiter in the history of their company- with the receipts to support that statement.
What is AI/ML making more "efficient" and "scalable"? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ thank you @red_abebe for the brilliant panel!
"Racism is a well-oiled machine. It really doesn't require people to proactively do much at this point, it can perpetuate itself... AI has lubricated that, it's like using WD-40 on this extremely well-lubricated machine to begin with." - @red_abebe at @ResistanceAI panel

This workshop is inspired by recent concerns on the ethics of what we accept in the AI research field.
It's meant to compliment the advocacy of those like @forcriticaltech & practical steps taken by PCs @NeurIPSConf @aclmeeting to get us to do better.
