#Matter is great, but it's not perfect. Today I wrote 8 suggestions for improving #privacy protection, and added them to:

Maybe useful for Matter 2.0? #MatterCouldBeBetter

It explains why #Matter, a new smart home standard that is being pushed by Google and Amazon, is a big step backwards for #privacy.

What an amazing talk by @tijmenschep @MCH2022Camp
Such a great way of showing that technology is not neutral, data is not neutral, and which political choices get made during the development of AI

Inspiring talk by @tijmenschep this morning at @JoyOfCoding
Can't wait to jump on stage right after the lunch break

@Romain_LLC The source code of How Normal Am I (didn't win the Webby...) is not on github, but it is open. You can inspect it in your browser. The machine learning algorithms are black boxes though. You might enjoy this blogpost: https://t.co/JelRB5Wghd

My interactive documentary about face recognition, "How Normal Am I", is on the short list for a Webby award!

If you feel like giving the project your vote, that would rock:

What can companies learn about you by analyzing your voice & manner of speaking (e.g., in voice commands/messages/calls/memos)? In this thread, I summarize our study on the largely overlooked privacy impacts of modern voice & speech analysis. #privacy #datamining #IoT #ethics 1/n

@johnwilander @Dhilung Look at research by Jon Penney (Oxford), and concepts like #chillingeffects, #conformity and #spiralofsilence. For now, problems with the #attentioneconomy get more attention than the #reputationeconomy. The debate about #Instagram's influence on girls is a welcome exception.

This article articulates well how the online #advertising industry continuously "leaks" data about you:

Some schools in the USA try to to detect mental health issues by surveilling what students share online. But in the long run it could condition children to surveillance, which creates mental health issues of itself.

Hurray! https://t.co/Gswu7vTkJd, my interactive documentary about the risks of #FaceRecognition technology, has won an award: it's one of the best .eu websites of the year!

Turkey seems to be using face recognition technology to track protestors. Imagine the chilling effects this creates.

Interesting book.

"Larson warns about the current culture of AI, which “is squeezing profits out of low-hanging fruit, while continuing to spin AI mythology.” The illusion of progress on artificial general intelligence can lead to another AI winter [...]
