On my way to Bedford to speak about the end of the world and AI :)

From drone swarms to AI border guards: Harsh word from me about danger of automating borders with proposed EU swarms in air ground and sea. Mentioned algorithmic race and gender bias as well

a new #digital divide is opening "between the knowers and the known. The #data miners and optimisers, who optimise... according to their values, and the optimised. The #surveillance capitalists... and the world's citizens" ht @dmonett #AI #AIethics https://t.co/gb4FrGKF54

“We have to recognise the ways in which power has shifted because of all the information about us that is out there.”

Great interview ⁦@j2bryson⁩ Makes a strong case that it’s human use of AI and not AI takeovers we should be worried about ⁦ https://t.co/PcqSQg496g

How about interviewing women and other minority groups in AI instead of puppets?

really pleased to see this NYT obituary for Alan Turing - one of the greatest scientists of all time, but treated shamefully.

Being on a panel with Arificial General Intelligence believers is like trying to talk sense about space travel with someone who insists on discussing ‘10 times faster than light travel’ by 2045.

They both distract us from the present problems @RespRobotics

A dreadful tale of algorithmic injustice for those desperatly in need to home care in Arkansas. Lack of human oversight shows inhumane cold and brutal decisions. It took a court case to show the flaws and miscalculation.

We need to educate against blind human trust in machines.

Is AI ethics doomed to fail? Great paper @b_mittelstadt "AI ethics conveniently steers debate towards the transgressions of unethical individuals, and away from the collective failure of unethical businesses and business models"https://t.co/wddghOuyzN @oiioxford @turinginst

AI - Ethical & Religious Perspectives our conference opens today @JesusCollegeCam We welcome AI experts, scientists, philosophers, theologians, representatives of world faiths. Will advances in AI enhance or diminish our moral and spiritual selves? #AI #AIethics @TempletonWorld

[Demis Hassabis @demishassabis]

Was fantastic to meet the great @danieldennett last week and discuss the nature of intelligence, self-identity, qualia and of course consciousness (along with @mpshanahan). To be continued soon I hope...!

[Science & Human Dimension Project @ScienceHumanDP]

Lively discussion of religious perspectives on AI on @BBCR4Sunday by @LauraJanklaus and @lawrennd both participants in our upcoming #SHDP conference on ethical and religious perspectives on #AI on 16-17 May @jesuscollegecam #aiethics

ROBOTS ON BORDERS Great investigation of Roboborder project and its implications by @notzachcampbell
“a dark step into morally dangerous territory,” said Noel Sharkey “a thin line between using robots to monitor a border and using them to enforce it’

Robots, robots, robots!
