The decisions being made around AI will change the #FutureOfWork. But if we put in the effort now, workers can benefit. Today, we’re proud to release PAI’s Guidelines for AI and Shared Prosperity, a tool to ensure AI supports an inclusive economic future: partnershiponai.org/paper/sh…

We know the AI community is approaching potential risks from all angles. In a rapidly evolving landscape, we must find common ground on what it means to be a cautious actor while considering diverse perspectives, including those of affected communities.
We’ve released a statement on the risk of extinction from AI. Signatories include: - Three Turing Award winners - Authors of the standard textbooks on AI/DL/RL - CEOs and Execs from OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Google DeepMind, Anthropic - Many more safe.ai/statement-on-ai-risk

Witnessed what seemed an extremely PREDATORY behaviour at the @BayshoreOttawa @WalmartCanada today when a cashier signed an elderly (75+) customer up for a credit card with basically zero informed consent AND after the customer declined a first time. /1

I intervened with the customer service representative, who tried to shut me up. I explained that there was NO way the customer was clearly aware of the fact that she was being signed up for a credit card. I was told I could contact the manager to lodge a complaint. /4

So here’s my complaint: @WalmartCanada appears to be targeting the elderly to sign them up for credit cards with little to no informed consent. This is morally reprehensible, and should probably be investigated by @OttawaPolice and @CBCOttawa for its legality. /5
