I haven’t written academic English before I started my #phd program, while reading papers I also try to learn academic English (English is my L2) and save articles that I feel are great examples to learn from. Here is an abstract from @asta_haukas I have favorited.

[Luiza Jarovsky, PhD @LuizaJarovsky]

🚨 BREAKING: The OECD publishes a new AI report: "Defining AI incidents and related terms," and it's a must-read for everyone in AI. Important information:

➡ An AI incident is defined as:

"an event, circumstance or series of events where the development, use or malfunction of one or more AI systems directly or indirectly leads to any of the following harms:
➵ injury or harm to the health of a person or groups of people;
➵ disruption of the management and operation of critical infrastructure;
➵ violations of human rights or a breach of obligations under the applicable law intended to protect fundamental, labour and intellectual property rights;
➵ harm to property, communities or the environment."

➡ An AI hazard is defined as:

"An AI hazard is an event, circumstance or series of events where the development, use or malfunction of one or more AI systems could plausibly lead to an AI incident, i.e., any of the following harms:
➵ injury or harm to the health of a person or groups of people;
➵ disruption of the management and operation of critical infrastructure;
➵ violations to human rights or a breach of obligations under the applicable law intended to protect fundamental, labour and intellectual property rights;
➵ harm to property, communities or the environment."

➡ Types of harm listed by the report:

➵ Physical harm
➵ Environmental harm
➵ Economic or financial harm, including harm to property
➵ Reputational harm
➵ Harm to public interest
➵ Harm to human rights and to fundamental rights
➵ Psychological harm

➡ The report states:

"A further step would be to establish clear taxonomies to categorise incidents for each dimension of harm. Assessing the “seriousness” of an AI incident, harm, damage, or disruption (e.g., to determine whether an event is classified as an incident or a serious incident) is context-dependent and is also left for further discussion."

Got hacked by scammers and bots in a recent online survey after recruiting from Reddit. Over 4,000 responses became just 200 valid ones after a major data clean-up. These digital tricksters were craftier than anticipated. It's a new era of online scams (1/9).

I'm currently recruiting additional participants for my dissertation interviews, specifically female senior leadership. I want to represent a variety of industries so I'm looking at the top 80 engineering firms in the US. Not many women, I'll tell ya 😅
