It's dangerous to divert to an alarmist future-oriented narrative about AI as it diverts attention from the political and ethical choices made now and that have an immediate impact (e.g. the use of fresh water for the AI datacenters) #AIethics

@RemmeltE Indeed, and this doesn't only apply to the Netherlands, we could for example also look at how Spain fosters certain engineering projects in Latin American countries and the dynamics are very similar

Yesterday I had the opportunity of facilitating discussion at the Decolonising Water Workshop after the brilliant talk by Dr @hasan_shahnoor at @sgtudelft. A big takeaway: there is a clear opportunistic framing of water expertise as a market expansion instrument.

🚨 SCOOP: OpenAI lobbied the E.U. to weaken forthcoming AI regulation, even as in public it calls for stronger AI guardrails, documents obtained by TIME show.

We're publishing the key document in full alongside my story 👇

@kritika136 Thank you so much, Kritika! Looking forward to your panel on Saturday!

[Aarón Moreno Inglés @AaronMoren0]

Very excited about the #SPT2023 conference in Tokyo, which kicks off today! On Friday I will be presenting my thoughts on AI and its emancipatory potential (and multiple pitfalls) for activist movements and grassroots organisations. I will keep you in the loop!

La semana pasada publiqué más sobre esto y sobre la famosa carta de moratoria en el blog de Niaiá (UAM). https://t.co/eF8JD7nBBv

Many people have mentioned it already, but just to add a bit on it: if people's lives are at risk from the use of AI is NOT for the reasons they mention. The real risks are found in the biophysical cost of mineral extraction and the ecological impact of AI energy consumption, -

[Aarón Moreno Inglés @AaronMoren0]

- so they can divert the attention of the public from the previously mentioned issues. Do not forget, real AI risks find their roots in the capitalist political economy of technology, not on future Terminator-like scenarios.

[Aarón Moreno Inglés @AaronMoren0]

There are huge risks already taking place, and the distribution of risks and benefits from AI systems is extremely uneven across the globe. Hyperbolising an uncertain existential risk is in the best interests of bigtech promotors -

OpenAI: please regulate us

EU: okay

OpenAI: not like that

A día de hoy, no hay debate que llegue a la esfera pública oficial (burguesa) sin haberse convertido en una farsa miserable.

[Aarón Moreno Inglés @AaronMoren0]

Self-entitlement and paternalistic approaches are not only present here, but are a wide issue in western engineering and design, and that needs to be addressed further at the university and beyond. Technical projects are never only technical, but also political.

[Aarón Moreno Inglés @AaronMoren0]

This is very lucrative (often one-sided), and there is an ongoing risk that the Dutch government and partner organisations keep reproducing historical asymmetrical relations within water management projects in Bangladesh, Vietnam,...
