Honored to have contributed to @datasociety's series on #ArtificialIntelligence & #HumanRights. My point: the world’s marginalized & vulnerable are at the highest risk of harm. Their voices should be front & center in the fight for non-discriminatory AI https://t.co/9TFsQUQbE7

Hello Twitter, it has been a while ;-) Excited to join @jsrailton, @KAlexaKoenig, & @lindsaysfreeman for a discussion hosted by @theNASEM on the Berkeley Protocol, which sets standards for the use of #OSINT in #HumanRights investigations.

Surveillance thrives in unequal environments, and the pandemic has increased inequality. We need a welfare state for our digital information economy, writes @bea_botero

Add 1 more to the list of ever-surprising vile acts by the Trump administration: today the White House announced an Executive Order to obstruct the work of the #ICC by authorizing sanctions against staff as well as those that support the court. #FDT https://t.co/LPfexadGVa

If .ORG is sold to a for-profit organization, information about registrants could be sold to repressive governments. Find out more on the potential risks and why we need to #SaveDotOrg here 👉 https://t.co/2k1VCZzUa1

“Donald Trump will be impeached by the House, probably before Christmas, but Mitch McConnell and his fellow Republicans who control the Senate have no interest in putting country above party.”

Are you interested in advancing the governance of #ArtificialIntelligence? This post-doc vacancy at the Max Planck Institute for #SocialAnthropology may be the right opportunity for you: https://t.co/jXNftLDSIG Deadline is January 20th, 2020 cc @maxplanckpress

Finally, a paper on why "AI for good" is an empty phrase without a theory of change. What is "good" is never articulated in the rush to tech solutions, while alternative reforms are overlooked. Read @benzevgreen's piece before it blows up at @NeurIPSConf https://t.co/72A3SEvjrE

[epiraces @epiraces]

Are you a technologist interested in advancing Human Rights? Check this opportunity for exactly that! And you also get to work with and learn from great people.

Excited to be in Vancouver for my first #AAA to talk about Justice, Advocacy, & Dissidence in the New Information Ecosystem w/ an amazing lineup. (Also, intimidated by 5,000 people professionally trained to do people-wacthing...) https://t.co/OynkN17cjJ #AAACASCA

[Arvind Narayanan @random_walker]

Much of what’s being sold as "AI" today is snake oil. It does not and cannot work. In a talk at MIT yesterday, I described why this happening, how we can recognize flawed AI claims, and push back. Here are my annotated slides: https://t.co/iCpyFw5urN
