The tide is turning. The dollar amount in this lawsuit- $6 million - is low, but the implications are massive.

Tech companies are finally being held liable for designing harmful products. My latest for @nytopinion (gift link) on why this win matters.

We are proud to represent the brilliant & funny .@JuliaAngwin in a nationwide class action over Grammarly’s AI Expert Review tool that used many writers’ names w/out their consent. Please take a moment to hear Julia’s perspective.

Courage is contagious. But how do we catch it?

For months, Ami Fields-Meyer and I have been asking dissidents and activists from around the world how we can topple authoritarianism.

We assembled their lessons into a field guide to courage.

This is a very smart paper; I cringe when journalists refer to audience engagement as *promotion*!as I see it as trust-building and public service.

[Alexander B. Howard @digiphile]

Journalists place “many markers of trust in institutional processes that are opaque to audiences, while creators try to embed the markers of trust directly in their interactions with audiences.”- @JuliaAngwin “journalists assume their audiences trust them, and creators do not.”

[Julia Angwin @JuliaAngwin]

The key finding of my comparison of how journalists & creators build trust with audiences:

Journalism has placed many markers of trust in institutional processes that are opaque to audiences, while creators embed the markers of trust directly in interactions with audiences.

[Shorenstein Center @ShorensteinCtr]

With trust in traditional media at an all-time low, a new paper from Shorenstein Fellow @JuliaAngwin examines what content creators — currently engaged in journalist-style work & courting large, loyal audiences — can teach journalists about trustworthiness https://t.co/vdys1pQmlT

Final installment in our three-part series on the climate costs of AI. Come to watch @A_W_Gordon ham it up pouring out water bottles, but stay to grapple with the brutal realities of climate mitigations where you can maybe save water or carbon, but it's really hard to save both.

[Proof News @proof__news]

You may have heard that having a conversation with ChatGPT is the climate equivalent of pouring out a bottle of water. In fact, that is likely an underestimate.

In the 3rd installment in our series on the climate costs of AI, we tackle thirsty AI.

Second part of our three-part series on the climate impacts of AI just dropped! 👇🏻

[Proof News @proof__news]

What is the carbon cost of using an AI bot? The companies stopped disclosing it in 2022.

In the latest installment in our series on the climate costs of AI, we estimate a year of ChatGPT use may emit the same amount of CO2 as driving 2 million miles.

First installment of our 3-part series on the climate impacts of AI just dropped on YouTube. 👇🏻

[Proof News @proof__news]

Since 2017, electricity consumption at the biggest AI makers has soared:
186% at Google
186% at Microsoft
367% at Meta
The reason: AI.

@A_W_Gordon stars in the first episode of our new YouTube series on the climate impacts of AI.

In our latest testing, the AI chatbots were pretty decent at detecting and debunking known vote count misinformation. With one notable – and surprising – exception: ChatGPT.
