As part of my test for linguistic inclusion in the digital space, my sample test for Amharic in ChatGPT resulted the following. Is generative AI exacerbating/replicating the social inequality in the physical space to the digital space?

@Eth_Ireland Congrats, indeed!

Civilian casualties, extrajudicial killings & arbitrary detentions are some of the key #HumanRights concerns in the context of the conflict in #Amhara region of #Ethiopia and the State of Emergency Powers. #SoE

The discussion and fear about AI is getting more and more trending. Openly speaking, I don't see any 'artificiality' and/or 'intelligence' in Artificial Intelligence (AI). What I see is that some aspects of the use of AI are the misuse of human intellig…https://t.co/ye2NKj78zQ

If this post makes it to bypass the ghost baning, I rather die than kneeling down for devil's mission. My critical view rules out placing the devil or its messengers on either side of the balance scale. I am not sorry devil.

Extremely slow asylum processing and discriminatory immigration regulations are putting humanity at serious risk.

Words can hardly express the negative impacts of colonial mentality (of both slavers and slaves) on our modern society and everyday life.

In this paper we demonstrated how autocomplete algorithms conflict with the social and cultural norms of the non-anglophone (non-English) multilingual society using the cases of Amharic, Kiswahili and Somali. https://t.co/ZfCSZaMNUN

I am very pleased that a joint paper by
@PeteChonka (KCL)),
@sdiep (Cambridge) and myself (RHUL) is just published. The paper is open access for free reading. It highlights the (problematic) behaviour of the autocomplete feature of search engines such as Google.

Nuance: Yidnekachew notes that increase of access and use of ICT positively and negatively affects and is affected by mobility and migration. It can grow social networks that enable mobility or can provide information that discourages mobility. @REFHorn #REFConference22

"Even though ICTs are portrayed as catalysts to mobility, they are not drivers to social change by themselves" - @Y_Haile reflects on insights from a joint paper with @PeteChonka on ICTs and mobility in the Horn of Africa @REFHorn #REFConference22

Do u see what I see on Jame's forehead? Definitely and hopefully not the 3rd WW.

Africa's call for a "true" permanent representation in the UN security council is appropriate and timely. #Africa #NoMore imperialism and global injustice.

Name something more evil than the way TPLF & loyalists allow the people of Tigray to suffer, for their own shallow ego & political benefit. I’ll wait…………………………………………. #nomore

@_mahder @DrTedros @timnitGebru @Google @_mahder I love to learn about the link b/n @timnitGebru and #TPLFisaTerroristGroup. I don't have any information about this is I have been supporting her until recently.

[Graham Peebles @peeblesgraham]

My latest essay on Ethiopia/Africa now published. More US terrorism and mainstream media lies. Shame on them.
Please share widely.

@DrFirew @BekeleWoyecha The private response doesn't seem to be for public consumption. However, at least two responses from UoM confirm that the disgraced Prof is retired.

[Yidnek, Yidnekachew Redda Haile @Y_Haile]

We in the diaspora stand for Ethiopia's integrity in solidarity with our people. We respect their voices. Help or #HandsOffEthiopa. The war with #TPLFTerroristGroup isn't a party politics. It's a war against global injustice & neocolonialism

Shout out to Addis Ababa saying #NoMore to being treated like second class characters in ur own story. As a "Western-trained" journalist & Ethiopian, I've been appalled by how majority of Ethiopian voices continue to be dismissed as they suffer an armed insurgency. @Twittersafety
