When we work together, labor unions and corporations can strengthen our country’s economy AND create opportunities for a better life for students and working people. Our partnership with Micron in NY is just one example of how. https://t.co/7da0W9HSUe

Unions and the rights of workers continue to be on the agenda in #Davos. #wef24 #civilsociety

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

At @wef in Davos, I met with global union federation leaders representing millions of workers. Promoting workers’ rights is key to the advancement of sustainable economic growth for worker empowerment in the United States and abroad.

Today, @Meta announced that it won't suspend former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, despite a recommendation from the Oversight Board to do so. And it could have BIG implications for global elections in 2024. Buckle up! @wired

“@safiyanoble, @timnitGebru, @jovialjoy , @ruchowdh , and Gangadharan have been calling for regulation for years, as soon as they saw the harm automated systems have on marginalized communities and people of color. But now that those harms could extend to the broader population, governments are finally demanding results. “

There's a lot of stuff out there on the Niger Coup situation. Here's my take, which works from a longer-term historical, view. "How the West Could Actually Help the Sahel" https://t.co/U7UB7Tw5dd

OpenAI marshaled a global pipeline of human labor for 2+ years to enable ChatGPT & GPT-4 to exist.

Workers who dealt with the worst parts are still suffering PTSD more than a year later.

My story with @dseetharaman out today on the front page of @WSJ.

I have a new book out today: THE HEAT WILL KILL YOU FIRST. It's about extreme heat and how it impacts every living thing on this planet.

It's not a doomer book. The opposite, in fact. I think of it as a survival guide for life in the 21st century.

A few weeks back, a major human rights organization used AI-generated images in an update and sparked an uproar. Here colleagues @shirinanlen and @vazquezllorente identify key questions on human rights advocacy and generative AI based in @witnessorg work.

An algorithmic system funded by the World Bank, meant to determine which families should get financial help, ended up excluding those who needed it. @hrw's report underscores why govt programs that use automated decision-making need more transparency. https://t.co/jlqQZlyIC1

Uganda’s parliament has passed one of the world’s strictest anti-LGBTQ bills. If the law comes into force it will entrench discrimination and undermine human rights.

President Museveni shouldn't sign the Anti-Homosexuality bill.

[Matthew Hodson @Matthew_Hodson]

Terrible news.
Uganda passes #AntiHomosexualityBill with punishments including the death penalty for some same sex acts.
This is devastating for #LGBTQ+ Ugandans, and their allies and friends.
And it is devastating for Uganda’s #HIV prevention efforts.
